NCAA also has a Collision Rule. The runner must be making a legitimate attempt to touch the plate (and not trying to dislodge the ball) or he is called out if he has not yet touched the plate, and can be ejected if the contact was flagrant or malicious. The NCAA will clarify this rule for next year by stipulating that contact above the waist initiated by the baserunner constitutes an attempt to dislodge the ball.
