What's the diff between college men and university men?
Colleges are smaller than universities and don't attract the same level of talent. Good Canadian University teams would compete w/ DII and some DI schools. I don't know what to compare good college teams with (maybe DIII or JUCO's?).
A college education is also less expensive and they tend to offer shorter curriculums. They could be a stepping stone towards University.
The men play basically the same rules (NCAA w/ modifications) but colleges (around here) have more modifications. The college games are very challenging as the athletes are just as quick and sometimes equally skilled yet they only use 2 referees (it's a real good run!)
Women is a completely different story. I'd explain but after talking about this I reminded myself I have a lot of manuals/rules to read...so I must go
