TL;DR
Apple Sports is a great mainstream score app. It is fast, clean, and familiar. But for college sports specifically, it is a much narrower product than Scores for NCAA Sports.
Scores for NCAA Sports is the better fit if your real problem is NCAA depth: Division 2, Division 3, or college sports that Apple does not currently list in its supported leagues.

Use Apple Sports if you mainly want a polished Apple-made scoreboard for pro leagues and the specific college leagues Apple currently lists.

The split is simpler than it looks.
Quick checking.

Built for your phone.
Scores for NCAA Sports exists to close that second half of the problem on iPhone and Android with one native app for overlooked NCAA score-checking.
