Question about how to format multiple pages

I am a first time user to wordpress and I’ve run into a bit a snag. I want to start a college sports website/blog. Ideally, I would like to show all new content and articles on the front page but would also like to have pages for each of the schools in the conference that I would be covering. Right now, all I can figure out to do is create new pages but all I can do here is add text and not an actual working page. I’ve figured out how to link the archive categories from each team’s articles but I was wondering if there was a way to create actual pages for each of the team that would look like the main page. So I could have the same scrolling articles and not just resort to an archive page. I just want each team to have a personalized page instead of just the main page being special. If there any way to do this? Thanks.
