NCAA doesn't have a number system but there can be up to around 85 players on the team.

More than 99 players on the team?

Easy. A school can have up to 85 players on scholarship. Its not hard to add more players to the roster that arent on scholarship.

There still is one tacitly. You're not going to see a wr with a number in the 50s. There's a few variations like Devon Gardner wearing 98 or whatever number he was wearing but that's an anomaly. The "understood" number system follows the Nfls except for single digit numbers which in college and high school are the most coveted. But when you have two star elite, nfl bound players who both want the number 2 and they play on opposite sides of the ball, you'll allow both of them to wear that number. Especially since you have 90 players and that frees up a number for someone else.
