Since the NCAA was not established until 1910, I would say that NCAA football did not begin until 1910. However, College Football was being played long before that, as early as 1869, though the game played then more closely resembled Rugby than modern American football. See the Wikipedia article on "college football", or just "American football", for more information.

Is there double overtime in football?

In college football, yes. If the score is tied at the end of an overtime period, the game continues. Overtime rules in college football are set up so that there cannot be a tie game ... overtime periods will be played until one team is ahead at the end of an OT period. In the NFL, not in the regular season. If no team scores in the overtime period, the game ends and is declared a tie. Obviously, in the playoffs there can be a double overtime as those games must have a winner.
