NCAA mechanics change

Forwarded to me from someone who was "out at the NCAA Conference Coordinators meeting this past weekend"

Only significant mechanics change is on a dropped strike 3. Plate umpire will still signal strike with raised fist, but then drop the arm down and give a safe signal to indicate the ball was dropped and is still alive. Third strike slap/bunt, if plate umpire has any question goes to base umpire just like a checked swing and asks 'slap or bunt' and base umpire gives appropriate response.
