That's the point. You build up traction in the surrounding area to break into the campuses where there is competition. (again this is just speculation)

They're already in plenty of big and small campuses, though still missing a few big ones.

For instance in California they've got Berkeley, Davis, UCSD and Stanford, although they're missing UCLA, UCSB and all the other (smaller, I think) UCs. I haven't looked at other states. There doesn't seem to be any particular rhyme or reason to which universities they're not in, so I guess it's just that nobody at UCLA has bothered to click the "I want it here" button yet.
