They made deals with 10 individual schools. You will play 2 college games at most(CFP) and then you are done. That's a whole lot simpler than reaching out a signing deals with 126 individual schools, conferences, recruiting etc. It's kinda like how NBA 2k did with their MyCareer a couple of years ago where they had like 6 or 7 college teams and you played like 4 or 5 games before getting drafted. There were no conference affiliations. It was just apart of the storyline in a MyCareer Mode.
