Really? I mean really? There is ZERO percent chance that adding UCF earlier would have done anything. We already had TCU coming in and a handshake agreement with Navy. Both options are infinately better than UCF, yet that did nothing to stop Pitt, Cuse or WVU from leaving.
As much as I hate UCF, I think adding them is better than Navy. USF-UCF is a natural rivalry and the BE needs more of these. This game would add more intrigue than any game that Navy plays with another BE team.
