The NCAA rulebook has just been released, and there is no penalty listed for trying to call consecutive timeouts, just as there is no penalty listed for trying to call a fourth timeout in a half. Presumably, if the officials signal one by mistake, it is treated as an inadvertent whistle.
Note that the ban on consecutive timeouts also includes (a) not being able to call a second timeout in the same dead ball period, even if the other team called one after you did, and (b) not being able to call a second one if they tried running a play but it was blown dead (e.g. for a false start).
