The same reason they're forced to wear white chinstraps, white bumpers, and sometimes white jerseys..

 

So, no reason at all?

 

Michigan removed the white from its socks, helmet bumpers, and chinstraps prior to the 2017 season, and it markedly improved the look:

Donovan+Peoples+Jones+Air+Force+v+Michig

Before the change:

Jake+Rudock+Oregon+State+v+Michigan+KU5K

This only looks bad because the cleats are the same colors as the socks. Restrict the cleats to either black or white and this doesn’t look nearly as bad, as modeled by Philip Rivers below:

Yeah, it does.  It really does.

Huge improvement.

 

Now that players can wear cleats in team colors, they should absolutely be able to wear helmet pads, clips and chinstraps in team colors too.

You know Michigan isn't an NFL team, right?

 

And to answer your question: yes, for a very good reason - it's a league rule..
