If that's actually true then not a fair catch, hence why it wasn't called on the field. Lots of money changed hands on 1 callFrom the NCAA rule book website on fair catch: A valid signal is a signal given by a player of Team B who has obviously signaled his intention by extending one hand only clearly above his head and waving that hand from side to side of his body more than once.
Team B was designated earlier in the fair catch rule to be the receiving team. The replay clearly showed that DeJean's hands NEVER were extended above his head. Bad call. Period.
