Right. It was called because the TCU guy was blown the frick up.. Which isn't in the rule book.



Technically correct. It is possible to make legal contact with a fielder.

However, the Sam guy was forced out about 405 steps before the bag. He had an opportunity to slide safely without making contact. With an option to avoid contact he chose to slide into the TCU runner. Thus why the call was made.

Also why the call will be made in the college game every single time.

The rule applied was this one:
(3) The runner must attempt to avoid a collision if he can reach the base
without colliding.

Rule 8 (base running) Section 7 in the NCAA rule book.

He couldn't reach the bag without colliding. The fielder was standing in front of the bag.
