It is just easier for all the students who are used to it, and mentors who are as well [most of them can do both]. In addition most of the machining gear we have access to are set up to be imperial. In addition AndyMark and a lot of parts we have are already imperial.
I think for most US teams it just makes more sense to do imperial for the above reasons. 1/4-20 all the wayyy

Imperial is much better for most teams. Hardware and tools are cheaper, most other teams use imperial so sharing is easier, and most shop-equipped teams have imperial machines and tooling.
Also, 10-32 is way better than 1/4-20.
