It isn't subject to the travesty rule as it isn't a travesty.

Allowing the ball to sit on the floor and refusing to play is certainly allowing the game to become an actionless contest. Since the no BC pressure is not a per Fed rules, there's absolutely no reason 10-1-5 can't be used in this situation. It's certainly a similiar act.

Leave the legalese at the officie, Aggie.
