The OBS is obvious. The NCAA rule seems to allow collisions of this sort, leaving it up to umpire judgment whether the contact is "flagrant." I'm not going to second guess the PU here: he said it wasn't flagrant, and it's his call in his conference.
So IMO the rule was applied correctly. Beyond that, it's a judgment call.
I also agree that in a FED game we'd have an out and an ejection here. MC supersedes OBS.
