College Football

College football refers to the American football played by teams representing colleges and universities in the United States. It operates under the auspices of various athletic associations, primarily the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). College football has a rich tradition and a significant cultural impact, with a large following, especially in certain regions of the country. The sport involves student-athletes competing at various levels, categorized primarily into Division I, Division II, and Division III, with Division I being the highest level of competition.
