Yes and no, there are student tournaments and things like the harvard taikai. That is probably as close as you will come. You could look at adding a college division to the AUSKF taikai, however I think they have been doing cutting of divisions lately (wasnt it jr. girls teams?) And any college tournament would likely be dominated by international student ringers, where you average college kendoka has never heard of kendo before joining their college club. there are quite a few clubs around however, just in Michigan you have State, UM, eastern and central, add indiana with purdue and UIUC and UI had a dojo, not sure if they went under or what. Ohio has another 3-4 (does the classical kendo federation group count?) and then UW in madison......
