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?

I have also been wondering. I doubt there is any satisfying answers to this. It's most likely just a symptom of the entertainment industry in Japan favoring works that have that setting. Similar things happen all over the world, Hollywood goes through phases of churning out media that plays in to pop culture. It's not necessarily nefarious or bad, humans just kinda be in hive mind mode sometimes
