Saturday Sweater Sweat every
Saturday.
A college football dynasty manager. You run the program, not the plays: recruit, lobby boosters and the AD, build the roster, survive the press conference, and chase the 12-team playoff. Then do it again next year.
Free. No account. Saves on your device.
Everything but the playbook
A full 136-school landscape with ten conferences, conference title games, a 12-team playoff with byes and home first-round games, and a Heisman race driven by real production.
Win the living room
Every recruit wants three things: playing time, NIL, a contender, proximity, academics. Scout, call, pitch, host visits and write checks from a fund you have to raise yourself.
Watch it play out
Games resolve live on screen: field goals, long touchdowns, fumble returns, a swinging win-probability meter and a full box score with player stats at the final.
Face the press
After every game you pick an answer. Fans, the locker room, the athletic department and the media all keep score, and it decides your hot seat and which jobs call.
Resume matters
Rankings weigh who you beat. Ranked wins carry extra credit, losses to good teams cost less. Watch the projected bracket shift every week from October on.
Breakouts and busts
Players get hot, go cold, pop in camp, declare early, or hit the transfer portal when the locker room sours. Seniors leave, your class arrives, the cycle turns.
Name your schools
A built-in editor renames any program, nickname or color, moves schools between conferences, and imports a whole league from a friend in one paste.
How a season goes
Pick your program and your coach name. Breakouts emerge in camp. The AD tells you how many wins keep you employed.
Each week: spend recruiting hours, lobby, then sim. Your game plays out live and ends at the podium.
Conference title games. Your class signs. The Heisman is handed out. The 12-team field is set.
Four rounds. Top seeds rest, everyone else hosts or travels. One team finishes No. 1.
Departures, development, the portal, budget upgrades, and the phone: job offers if you overachieved, a pink slip if you didn't.

Questions
Are these real schools?
No. The league ships with 136 fictional programs that mirror a modern conference landscape. The League Editor lets you rename anything, and a league file can be shared with friends and imported in one paste.
Where is my save?
In the browser version, in that browser's local storage. In the Windows app, in your Windows user profile; File > Export save writes a backup file you can move to another PC.
How do updates work?
The browser version is always current. The Windows app has Check for updates under Program > Save & settings; it downloads the new game file and reloads without touching your save.
Is it hard?
Taking over a 10-prestige program is a title-or-bust job. A 2-star program is a five-year project with a lot of losing in year one. Both are the point.
