REPLY: Actually, since the 3-minute warm up is mandatory, there could really be two different 3-minutes periods--one for each team. If both teams are out on the field when the halftime intermission ends, those two three-minute warm up periods run concurrently. If either (or both!) teams are not on the field when the intermission concludes, they have already fouled. But you will not start the three-minute timing for a delinquent team until they team show up. They still must be given the full three minutes. This would put them over the alloted time for halftime and make them subject to the USC penalty.
