The use of replay in these broadcasts has led many top-level college umpires to adopt the "get it right" mantra (especially on the bases) just like their MLB counterparts. They don't want to get burried on a broadcast, either.

Haven't met one yet, though, who will intentionally call a strike on a breaking ball in the dirt that may have touched the strike zone over the plate.
Okay, I'm with you. I thought you meant instant replay being used by umpires.

I umpire at the college level and I don't know of anyone who calls that pitch a strike either. If they do they won't be around long.
