NCAA Rule 5 Sec 9 Art 4
When play is resumed by a throw-in, the game clock and shot clock
shall be started when the ball is legally touched by or touches a player on
the playing court.
Rule 9 Sec 10
An inbounds player (and his team) shall not be in continuous control of a ball that is in his back court for 10 consecutive seconds.
So in essence, a defensive player can tip a throw-in pass and start the game/shot clock. The ball can be batted around by both teams for 5 seconds and only when the offensive team gains control of the ball, the 10-second count shall start; the shot clock would be at 30 seconds at this point and there would NOT be a 10 second violation when the shot clock shows 25.
