NCAA: if there's a held ball before the arrow is established, the resulting jump ball is between any two players. NF, it would be between the two players involved in the held ball.

That is right. And for the record it would not have been hard to remember the two players. Those two were key in that game and they would have been hard to forget in this situation. Then again I work college football and rarely do I have an issue getting rules like that straight, especially in basketball. The rules differences are very minor. Football on the other hand.....

Technically speaking, I believe the video showed that red had the ball first, even if it was for just a moment, and Jeff was correct in making the call he made. However, I would not be surprised and I wouldn't consider it an incorrect call if any official had come up with a held ball given what was visible in the video.
