College Football

College Football refers to American football played by teams of student-athletes from colleges and universities in the United States. Governed primarily by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), it features various divisions, with the highest level being the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). College football is characterized by its amateur status, where student-athletes can receive scholarships but do not get paid to play. The season typically runs from late summer to early winter, culminating in bowl games and playoffs that determine national champions. The sport is celebrated for its traditions, rivalries, and the passionate following of fan bases, often serving as a feeder system for professional football leagues, notably the National Football League (NFL).
