The second point may be that the purpose of playing basketball is not simple. When we play basketball, many girls will say? So handsome? But we hardly hear girls say that football players are handsome. After all, when playing basketball, both expressions and movements are more natural and elegant than when playing football. So many boys choose to play basketball to attract girls' attention.
The third point is that playing basketball is much easier than playing football, both technically and physically. Basketball is divided into point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. Although it looks very troublesome, there is no need to care too much about your position when playing together. The only purpose of playing basketball is to score goals. But football is more troublesome in this respect, and different people need different positions. This is also a little less entertaining. Because playing football is more professional, this is one of the reasons why many college students are unwilling to play football.
The fourth point is about training athletes. There are fewer students in college classes, which also makes it difficult for the football team to prepare. Playing basketball is different. Even if you have only one person, you can fly the basketball. Even if some people like playing football very much and there are many positions on the football team, they may not be able to choose their favorite position. Secondly, it takes a long time to hold a football match. If a player doesn't want to play, the game may not be held again, which is one of the reasons why basketball is often watched and football is rarely watched.
