I'm with you here. there are a few chains worth exploring if they cater to college kids (five guys, chipotle, etc...), but restaurant chains don't cater to college kids. I wish we'd see more mom and pops start up there. there's a market for it if done to scale, but everyone builds to capacity thinking of college football weekends rather than thinking about the random Tuesday lunch 52 weeks of the year.
