Not really, no. Firstly. Apparently we are supposed to discern the motives behind the act. Thus, if the player felt someone was on his heals and dove to try and get the ball in the end zone who are we to flag it. Secondly, Just because the NCAA does something doesn't automatically mean we need to. Thirdly, if a player does a legal act, (ie diving into the end zone) at what point does it become illegal. Three yard, five yards etc.

Some judgement, yes, but 5 yards clear as you are running and a few yards from the goal line seems like enough room to think he is doing it to show off, not to keep from getting tackled.
