A prequel of sorts to Front Office Football, which focused on the NFL, The College Years is a text-only management sim that lets you take the helm of one of 117 college football programs and guide it to the top of the rankings, all the while building your own reputation to the point where you might be offered more prestigious positions with other schools. Instead of dealing with fussy, spoiled pros and their big-money demands, you're now dealing with fussy, spoiled amateurs and their own particular set of quirks. These changes make a huge difference to how the game plays out, with the action at the stadium fading into the background because of pressing demands involving everything from scouting potential freshmen and hiring staff to making sure that your stars keep their grades up and maintain their eligibility. Your involvement in their virtual lives as a coach and surrogate parent is extraordinarily moving, creating a role-playing environment that's appealing even if you're not a football fan.

Fortunately, it's this sort of challenge that makes The College Years so addicting. Although you will likely start off slow with the game, tinkering with settings and getting comfortable with the text-heavy interface, things pick up when recruiting begins in earnest. Setting targets and going after them is incredibly engaging, so much so that you can easily lose entire evenings to a single season's negotiations. Your "den mother" role is further enhanced after your recruits arrive for their freshman year. The game tracks detailed information about all the players on your squad as they proceed through their college careers, including overall grade point averages, grades in each class, overall happiness, how they spend their time, and even if they've managed to find a steady girlfriend. Keep an eye on all these factors and make adjustments if necessary, as they play an important role in how the player performs. If your star quarterback is spending too much time training, he might lose his academic eligibility. On the other hand, if he spends too much time studying, his football might suffer. And if he devotes too many hours to either, he could lose his girlfriend and grow so miserable that his performance in both areas will drop. Ah, the struggles of the big man on campus.

The only drawback to all this is that your team's performance on the field becomes somewhat inconsequential, at least for the first few years of operation, while you attempt to build a powerhouse. Even then, there's so much emphasis on constantly building and rebuilding for the future that it's easy to think of the games as something you have to endure every week in order to get back to recruiting. There is some justification to this belief. In comparison with the deep recruitment system and the monitoring of each player's personal life, the actual football game simulation is rather weak. Although you possess the ability to set the depth charts and extensively alter your team's game plan, it's often effective to just leave these settings on automatic and fire your coaches if you run into trouble. Personality seems to play a bigger role than tactics here. Get stuck with an offensive or a defensive coordinator that roster players (and often potential recruits as well) dislike, and the whole team's performance will plummet.

It has had seven sequels: Front Office Football 2, Front Office Football 2001, Front Office Football 2002, Front Office Football 4, Front Office Football 2004, Front Office Football 2007, Front Office Football 7, and Front Office Football 8. A college football version titled Front Office Football: The College Years was released in 2001. Having received many favorable reviews over the years, it has been called the most realistic American football simulation for the computer.[2]

Bethesda's Todd Howard Has An Idea About How To Bring NCAA Back
I love that Howard is passionate about NCAA, but in my opinion, everything EA has said and done on this front shows that they are being extremely cautious about any return to college football. I think they are waiting for nothing short of the full legal resolution of the NCAA and players' student/athlete status before returning. EA's already had to settle one lawsuit on this front, and I doubt there's a lawyer in the building that's going to risk another.
