The rationale that was given in the clinic was more than just to be like the others. It was because the old rule created scoring headaches.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I personally don't care if the scorekeeper can't figure out how to portray things under the old BOO rule.

Yes, I remember that conversation. Think it is just as ridiculous now as I did then.

NCAA Rule 11.11
(a) the player who should have batted is out;
(b) all results because of a ball batted by the improper batter or because of the improper batter’s advance to first base as a result of obstruction, an error, a hit batter, walk, dropped third strike or a base hit shall be nullified;
(c) the next batter is the player whose name follows that of the player called
out for failing to bat;
(d) if the batter declared out under these circumstances is the third out, the correct batter in the next inning shall be the player who would have come to bat had the player been put out; and
(e) if the third out is made on a player before the report of the infraction, an appeal may still be made in order to reinstate the correct batting order.
