A plain mid-nineties college football cart with a battery save, and a cheap one.
NCAA Football was developed by The Software Toolworks and published by Mindscape in North America in 1994. Mean Machines Sega previewed it as a Mega Drive sports game for one to four players.
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The cartridge saves to a battery inside it, so test that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair and not a sign of a fake. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
