That case play ruling is true only in NFHS, despite no actual rule that makes that runner out.
In ASA and NCAA, no one is declared out without being actually put out; if the defense refuses to make the necessary tag, and the runners remain on the base, you would call time and return the trailing runner to the prior base, since no out has been made by the defense, nor rule violated by the offense.
