Or have they changed rules or a preseason rule ..

Depends when it happens during the game. The official NCAA rule is that the game clock stops but restarts when the ball is declared ready to play (so a few seconds later because Refs are supposed to replace the ball quite fast), and during the final 2 minutes of each half, the clock stops and restarts when the ball is snapped.

In the NFL the rule is the same except: restarts when the ball is snapped in the final 2min of the first half, and 5 min of the second half.
So in effect except during the final 2min of the 1st half and 5min of the 2nd half, the clock virtually doesn't stop when a runner is out of bound.
