College Football USA '96

College Football USA '96 is the third EA college football game for the Genesis, the immediate successor to Bill Walsh College Football 95, and the first not only to include all 108 Division I-A teams but also the schools' actual licensed likenesses.

Unused Stadium Names#

Much like High Score's NHL 96, almost all teams in the game have their stadiums listed, even though this information is never used in gameplay. However there are spelling mistakes, and one school never had its stadium and mascot defined!

Only teams with notable spelling or other mistakes are listed for space reasons.
