Wouldn't the reason be to not lose the footballs. I doubt everyone is so willing to throw them back. And when they did throw them back, they could throw them wherever they wanted and that could be another problem. In baseball they keep them, so I'm sure some would try to keep them.
That's the reason, in college some schools don't have nets. I guess you have to give them the football otherwise they can just kick you out and take it back.
