Hi Yatch! Thanks for asking. The short version is no.

The much longer version is there are three reasons I have no interest in adding colleges to my databases (I get asked about this a few times a year, so I'm just going to stick this in here for future reference - yachtmistjr you can ignore the rest if you're not interested.)

It would be a lot of work to create all of the colleges - even if I just focus in the 129 FCS colleges. Because colleges don't exist in the FM database, it would be a lot of work to research and add them. It took me about five hours to add 150 news sources for the US database, and a lot of that could be copied over and didn't require unique additions. Accurately representing the colleges would require a good amount of extra work and created teams, locations, and stadiums.
Every time a new version of the database is released (2-3x a development cycle), the unique ids for all created teams change, so any graphics work has to be updated every time, which is tedious (especially if you mess up the unique ids in a small but meaningful way - never had that happen…)
Most importantly - Football Manager is not built for the US sporting model. We're used to “amateur” and professional sports as separate structures. The pyramid model of English Soccer operates entirely differently, and so it is really hard to replicate the financial and developmental aspects of college sports in the United States. Additionally, the restrictions sometimes only impact teams controlled by players and no by ai - which makes this frustrating as a player (I've seen this happen with salary caps, for example, in older databases.) So if you can imagine getting ten years in and playing with a team that has no budget and no development and is stuck with 19-22 year olds, while your peer teams have 28-29 year olds, and there's no way to improve, you can see how it would be a less than ideal db.
I know others have taken a run at adding the NCAA (I think Owncredible on the SI forums had a version that had NCAA teams), but I'm just not interested in figuring it out. Thanks for asking though Yacht, and I hope the response isn't too long!

No the response wasnt too long! Thank you I will still download and test out this database, thank you for the response.

Hi, I was wondering about the colleges? Can you possibly add them to this?
