[SFbayCane]

Sometimes there are full time outs and sometimes there are 30 second time outs. How is that determined?

Television

In college football, a team timeout is 90 seconds. If the game is on live television but the network does not go to a commercial, the timeout decreases to 30 seconds plus the 25-second interval on the play clock.
