What I would do now

If you look at things over the next 5 years, sure. If you look at things 10 years and beyond, I'd disagree. Boise State is doing phenomenal at the moment, but I'm not sure there are any indicators they can keep it up in a fairly mediocre recruiting area with a student population that is less than 40% of what UCF's is and their alumni base isn't growing very fast (4-year graduation rate is only 6%).

Even as the fourth-best option in Florida, UCF still has a better recruiting pool locally than BSU does. And like Brad Stevens, the odds are Chris Petersen will test the waters before too long.

Brew, everything you state is the exact same that was said about USF.  They are very similar schools in many regards.  Both, likely, will continue to be the same.  Having lived in Tampa for 5 years, I can tell you that no one really cares about USF.  It is Florida and FSU.  The same holds true about UCF in Orlando.

Be careful what you wish for.
