You are right... But with Affirmative Action, the other schools could dance circles and outcompete us versus when we were segregated. That's a whole 'nother conversation.
The best most HBCU's can hope for is being filters for the larger schools they partner with in the city...
Unless you are Bethune-Cookman that can take an immediate lock on the area. The nearest larger university in it's class is maybe Orlando... But you have University of Florida, Florida State and few smaller schools dotted. University of South Florida and Miami University. Jacksonville, too. And you will be competing against FAMU for dollars. To me, the president of Bethune-Cookman made a very strong strategic alliance making the school a Master's bearing university in Florida. I think it is great and very wise. Not to be biased, but the president before her did not have the foresight. Believe me, I KNOW!
