Foster let up at the end when he didn't know what to do given no plate to slide to.
He did not let up. He had no choice but to slide into the guy.
You cannot take a catcher out in college. Foster would get ejected from the game.
The catcher did a great job of blocking the plate and he was making a play at the plate so he has the right to block it.
MLB changed the rules too due to injury to catchers. They are sitting ducks if a player can take them out.

I played baseball and I coach baseball. There is no doubt in my mind that JF thought he would score easily and let up a little as he rounded third. I think he was surprised that a perfect throw and catch was made to the plate. If I were him at that point, I slide much harder feet first and hope to dislodge the ball. It is not illegal to slide into a catcher feet first if the plate is blocked and there is no other path to it. Foster made a mistake and paid for it.
That said, shite happens, and I like Foster a lot.
