The 2011 Rules Meetings showed numerous videos and the 2011 NCAA Baseball Supplement has six paragraphs on page 12 emphasizing the particulars. The runner must not attempt to dislodge the ball and avoid a collison if he can reach the base without colliding.

In NCAA baseball, a runner who violates the rule is out. Malicious contact also results in an ejection.

Good luck.
Muh... what? How is this "not exactly" having rules about malicious contact?
