Here's the kicker. Since the NCAA rules apply to everyone, what are some FCS and nearly all D2 and D3 teams to do? They don't have the luxury of replay. So they only get one crack to make the correct call; on the field when it happens. It's unfair to the refs to make such a judgment and unfair to the teams.
