But I have noticed a significant increase in those movies based around schools/colleges for the sport played is footy (soccer to some), where previously it would be predominantly handegg. Surely Hollywood is a good barometer for the nation's tastes?

How well have the movies do is a better barometer. Plus most of those movies aren't that good.

BTW do you Canadians call it Football or Soccer? I mean you're part of the Commonwealth but drive on the right side and use the metric system so everything is possible.
