Poor strategy on the college's part.
When I was a personal trainer at a gym, I used to walk up and down the cardio machines and would only target the out of shape people to talk to, offering an intro free training session. I'd see the fit people, smile and move on.
My manager was a really sharp red-pill sales guy. He noticed what I was doing and told me not to pick and choose people, but talk to EVERYONE. He said, if people saw I was only talking to out of shape people, and then I talked to them, they would feel bad. Also, sometimes people that looked in-shape actually were receptive to hiring a trainer.
Carpet-bombing approach is 10x better.
