In NCAA play,if a batted or thrown ball accidentally hits nongame personnel,the ball remains live.It is not interference if the individual tries to evade the ball or is not aware that the ball is coming.Effect: The umpire shall award the appropriate compensation(ie extra bases)that in his or her opinion,would have resulted had interference not taken place.(Rule 9-11)

See page 96

Now then, it also states that Authorized media may be in foul territory but must be ready to move quickly........Monopods are allowed, but Tripods are not.

I didn't see the play, but just because the media was on the field, doesn't mean they were in DBT.
That statement is correct. However, remove the reference of the media from the original post. The scenario stated it went into DBT. Unless NCAA has a specific rule to kill a play for media in play, I would think that if the umpire killed the play, the media was set-up in DBT.
