NCAA 12.19.1 The base runner may not interfere with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball. For example:

NCAA 12.19.1.4 Physical contact by the base runner with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball shall be interference, provided the fielder had a reasonable chance to make a play and was prevented from doing so.

Which NCAA rule are you citing which defines interference by a base runner without physical contact? Not the general definition (1.72); this specific rule will be and has been cited as requiring physical contact, and I can find no other rule that says (as ASA and NFHS do) that contact is NOT required.

And have been instructed that is the way the NCAA intends the rule to be interpreted, absent some specific act like waving arms or verbal interference (12.19.1.4.2.
