Because people seem to think that just because this game has a college in it that its copying that game lol
I could see how the argument might be made that either of these titles might build on (and benefit from) the success of the other, but that wouldn't be possible if both weren't worth their salt. I'm sure we would agree though that anyone who's making an apples to apples comparison is being a bit reductionist. Besides, the "school setting" seems to be a very popular trope so you can't blame devs for creating titles that cater to what audiences want.
I'd even say that people who are making a direct comparison between the two must be judging by the cover art because once you dig in you find that these are indeed very different games.
That said, it's unfortunate that there isn't a forum dedicated to comparing and contrasting the two games. At least there's not any I know of. Since both titles are still in development, I feel that the devs could benefit from that end user feedback.
