I'll try it more directly: Just because the announcers think there was a travel, doesn't mean there was one. So their pronouncements give no indication of how the NCAA wants the travelling called.

Did you read my description of the play? I didn't mean it was a travel because the announcer said so. It was a travel because I said so. The unusual part is that it was noticed and commented on by announcers.
