It's all about the automatic scholarships. If you have a 32 on the ACT and above a certain GPA (3.75 maybe? Don't remember off hand), you have an automatic free ride. HaloStar considered it, for a minute, until he talked to my brother who discouraged it. He thinks my son would have a very hard time fitting in there.
I know a fair amount of people who went south from my neck of the woods and transferred to a northern school within a year.

This happened several times to kids in my graduating class! They would go to big southern state schools like Alabama, Florida, etc. and then for one reason or another (usually finances) come home to my in-state school for this upcoming academic year. I'm actually the farthest south student left in my 350+ person class.

Many of these scholarships are also tied to maintaining a certain GPA. If you start with a class that is all coming in with a 32 ACT and a 3.8 GPA and tell them they have to maintain a 3.5 to keep their scholarship, it doesn't take very long to realize not everyone will be returning the next year.
