Because there is specific rules coverage for an inadvertent whistle. A running play the option is to replay the down or take the ball at the spot when the IW was blown. On a loose ball play, the down is replayed.
What you suggest puts the official as lying. His NCAA officiating days would be over. Better to fess up to the IW. They happen. Nobody is happy when one occurs but there is a procedure in place to deal with it.
