Apologies for the typo. The NCAA rule is 6.19.1.4.
And now I have to ask...
If you weren't even aware that this was an NCAA rule, then how would you know if it was being taken out of context or not properly interpreted?
I had preformed a textual search of the NCAA ruleset on the word "delay" and found it exclusively used in either the context of the pace or flow of the game. Or its use was well removed, such as delayed dead ball. Nowhere is the word "delay" used in the context of the duration or inevitable conclusion of the game.
6.19.1.4 If a team employs tactics obviously designed to delay or shorten the game. In order to apply this rule you would need to place the word "delay" into the context of the duration or conclusion of the game. Yet nowhere else in the rules is the word used in such a context. Again you are free to interpret it as such but I feel it would be a stretch.
