The rule you’re referring to:
The whole point of including “toward the neutral zone” is to define what “forward” means, not to insert a requirement that in order to attempt a forward pass you have to be behind the neutral zone. If that were a requirement, then there could be no illegal forward passes, it would just be fumbles.
Just because this rule specifically explains what a forward pass is in the context of a player throwing from behind the LOS, it doesn’t negate what a forward pass is when the player is beyond the LOS.

b. When a Team A player is holding the ball to pass it forward toward the neutral zone, any intentional forward movement of the passer’s hand with the ball firmly in their control starts the forward pass unless the player clearly starts to bring the ball back with firm control to the passer’s body.

Yeah, then your issue is with the illegal forward lateral rule. Since a legal forward pass is clearly defined and has nothing to do with your dumbass argument you already did Saturday. I suggest you write the NCAA rules committee to get it cleared up instead of trolling a fricking message board.
