Anyone noticed Basketball schools tend toward Blue, football toward Red?

As a primary school color, shades of red and blue are pretty prominent, with yellow being a distant 3rd. But for some reason, the top basketball schools are dominated by blue, and the top (or at least most well known) football schools by red. There are exceptions of course, but it is somewhat strange.
Red:
USC
Alabama
Ohio State
Arkansas
Texas A&M
Georgia
SCAR
FSU
Oklahoma
Arizona State
Utah
Virginia Tech
Ole Miss
Miss St
Wisconsin
Nebraska
Blue:
Duke
UNC
Kansas
Kentucky
Villanova
UCLA
Florida
Memphis
Georgetown
Red:
USC
Alabama
Ohio State
Arkansas
Texas A&M
Georgia
SCAR
FSU
Oklahoma
Arizona State
Utah
Virginia Tech
Ole Miss
Miss St
Wisconsin
Nebraska
Blue:
Duke
UNC
Kansas
Kentucky
Villanova
UCLA
Florida
Memphis
Georgetown

schools with a well-rounded 'commitment to excellence' in all sports tend to wear purple or gold, if not both.

So what you're saying is we need to put the touch of Lady Vols' blue on our men's bball uniform.

Wisconsin is pretty good at basketball as well.

Football schools that wear blue;
Michigan- most wins all time
Penn State- top 10 wins all time
Florida- a hell of a lot better than Aggie
Auburn- same as Florida
