I don't know about the NCAA, but from dealing in college admissions for a hot minute, the directional schools (with the exception of USC because it's private and has a storied history) indicate a second-tier status. I find myself guilty of it as well--UF: flagship! UCF: safety school. (I know it's totally not the case anymore, but I grew up in Florida during a time when UCF was NEVER anyone's first choice. It was UF, FSU, or out-of-state.) Let's not forget about USF, UNF, UWF.

There's a book--I think it's Snobbery by Joseph Epstein that discusses the curse of the directional school (with USC as the rare exception).
