(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."

This is quite confusing. What am I not understanding? It appears to me (still 1 coffee short of minimum for the morning!) you're saying NCAA would allow the appeal and disallow the run, and then you quote the rule that says they would NOT allow the appeal.
