You are correct, but this is consistent with the NCAA being inconsistent. I know it would piss a lot of people off and cost them money, but NCAA officiating will never be what it could as long as things like this happen to make things more inconsistent than they already are. Sure, there will always be differences because officials are different, but when you do things like this it makes it worse. A play in Seattle should be officiated the same way it is in Chapel Hill (gasp), Memphis, Dallas, etc.
