Temple is in a big market but if you don't carry it what does it matter? The Gators own the Tampa market. USF and UCF to different degrees in my opinion both have this problem.
And I already responded to the bold part but I'll add more...there is a big difference on where you want to spend college vs where you want to live long term. Students from Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, and Jacksonville are not picking UCF bc of the crime rate in Pine Hills or MetroWest 30+ minutes from campus. It's bc the campus, the immediate campus area, programs offered, good nightlife, quality of life for an undergrad, and the overall college atmosphere at UCF. Have you ever been to FSU and driven more than 5 minutes away from the immediate vicinity of their campus and seen that mundane town? Yet it still doesn't stop all those students and recruits from wanting to attend there
UCF is now more popular in Orlando then UF and FSU.
