I think history plays a pretty large role, too. Some schools have had decades to build a good program in one sport or the other, so when smaller schools make choices about where to invest their athletic department money, they go for where their reputation is strongest.
That said, I'm sort of surprised that Rice hasn't torn down the football stadium and replaced it with a much nicer baseball stadium.
