13. In a bizarre sort of way football keeps other sports going
Title IX aside, universities do want to maintain at least the appearance that they are not totally obsessed by football and have other programs for other students, so they continue to offer other collegiate sports such as synchronized swimming and golf and tennis, etc.

Without football there might not be any need to maintain this charade.
