Why Don't They Make College Sports Manga? Is College Sports Not as Big as Highschool Sports in Japan?

I read a lot of sports manga, and I've noticed that most focuses on Highschool Sports (Baseball, Voleyball, Basketball, etc.). If it's not highschool, it's in a professional setting (e.g. Hajime no Ippo).

From reading baseball manga, I know there's at least a college league for baseball, but why isn't tackled more?

Ashita no Joe for an old classic (Megalo Box for a modern take but it's only in Anime iirc). This is Boxing btw

Blue Lock for Football (although still about youths)

One Outs for Baseball (not your usual sports manga, more of a psychological thriller)

Hikaru no Go for Shougi (MC is young but he's fighting professional players, like a young chess prodigy fighting Magnus Carlsen)
