No one has an archive like Nebraska, believe me, I know.
The worst of any actual football school's is USC. 
Am I naive to think they have the data somewhere, it's just not organized and/or assembled in any meaningful way? I spent a summer in high school helping build a database of court information in Washtenaw County Michigan. They realized then that they needed to digitize all of these court records. That was in 2001.  Yet Michigan State's football roster from that same year is not easily accessible.

If it's a matter of going through the library, and the SIDs records to assemble it, I cannot believe there isn't an intern out there that would love to do it

Indeed. 
For the most part, athletic departments have the data, even if it's handwritten game-by-game records.  A good example would be Miami's website - they simply turned those handwritten records into PDFs without any of the trouble of typing them up.
.
Most of the websites only share online stats whenever they began their websites, but they have annual media guides, etc.  They just figure no one cares enough to share it all.
.
They're wrong.

Another number that will never be worn again in Madison.



David Nathan Schreiner (March 5, 1921 – June 21, 1945) was an American football player. From Lancaster in southwest Wisconsin, he was a two-time All-American and the 1942 Big Ten Most Valuable Player end at Wisconsin and a 1943 second round draft choice of the Detroit Lions of the National Football League. While in college, he worked in a girls' dormitory cafeteria to earn spending money, although his family was comfortable financially. He was mortally wounded in action by a sniper as a Marine on June 20, 1945 during the Battle of Okinawa and died the next day.[1] He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955. His life and death are detailed in the book Third Down and a War to Go, written by Terry Frei, the son of Jerry Frei, one of Schreiner's teammates on the 1942 Wisconsin Badgers football team.
