As we saw with Miami, who nearly dropped football before selling out the Orange Bowl regularly shortly thereafter, if you win in a major metro, you can attract fans at the snap of a finger. Temple plays in a big stadium, there's no reason they can't draw big crowds if they win every season.

The median Penn State fan lives on a farm. What do they care about flagship designation?

And Pitt is on roughly equal ground vis-a-vis PSU in the eyes of the state AND is located in a major city AND has a rich history (arguably richer - 9 NC's), and yet PSU's football program probably makes 2x Pitt's and is accordingly worth way more in TV money.

Fans matter, not arbitrary geography.

Doi, when did I say it didn't? I just said that schools in major markets can attract lots casual fans.
