It feels a bit ticky-tack, and “any waving of the arm” feels pretty broad when applied to a football player who will likely be using his arms to run and later, catch the ball that is coming his way.”’ Irrelevant, because the guy who made the invalid signal wasn't even trying to catch the ball. The other guy is the one who caught the ball.
In the Iowa situation is a ridiculous thing to call. The ref wasn’t even required to call it as it was subjective. The idea of an invalid fair catch signal is about the dumbest thing the in the world for the Iowa situation.
If the player can’t do the fair catch signal correctly he deserves to be lit up.

While I agree with you in principle, I’d be pretty upset as a coach if one of my guys lit a dude up and got a 15 yard penalty for it. It would be subjectively up to the ref if a guy’s signal was valid or,not.
