I'm sure if you look at Vandy, Clemson, North Carolina, Florida and the likes you will see the same thing. These schools just aren't very interested in guys who can't break the 90 mph barrier. This is just what I saw during son's recruitment.
There may be schools that limit it like that. I just started to look on PG at recruits from the 2016 and 2017 classes. Vandy has 18 pitching recruits in those classes, of whom6 throw under 90. Clemson? 9 of their 11 pitching commits throw under 90. The guys throwing over are at 90 and 92 and three guys throw 85 or under.
