I was on an NPC extension call recently and this came up - the campus is to give "consideration" to dormant groups but that is it. This means when they open, they invite 3 groups to campus to present and often, the dormant may get an invite (in the case of Bucknell, there were at least 3 dormants and I'm not sure any of them got invited).
I have seen a couple of cases where, once presentations happened, the dormant group(s) did not get the campus and the group who had no history there did. Previous campus history does not give a group a definite "in".
Extension in the 80s was different than today. Today, larger NPC groups are vying for the same campuses as smaller NPC groups. Larger groups have more resourves and often, it comes down to a financial commitment from a group such as a dedicated chapter consultant to live on/near campus for 1-2 years. Some groups just can't afford to do that.
