There's no "err" in FED appeals.

You got me digging in NCAA.
While the overthrow is an "err", in the OP it seems NCAA would not allow the appeal due to a runner advancing.
"(5) If the defensive team errs on an appeal play and the ball remains in liveball territory, the appeal will be allowed if:
(a) The ball immediately is returned to the base being appealed; and
(b) No runners advance on the misplay. If a runner(s) advances, no appeal
shall be allowed."
Also where do they specify that some of the 8-6-b provisions do not apply during unrelaxed action? It makes sense and I would not think of applying them during unrelaxed action but is it codified somewhere.
