Realistically both schools deserve huge respect, but nationally people still see them as regional commuter type schools, still way behind the other three FL big boys. Simply keeping the Florida Tech name might have done wonders for UCF.

Geez, and you guys give MTSU grief over being named "Middle" Tennessee. Maybe UCF can become University of "Middle" Florida and USF can be University of "Southwest Central" Florida. Or, like our cousins, the former West Tennessee Normal School, now called Memphis; maybe USF could appropriate the Name "Tampa" and UCF can be DisneyWorld?

So what. UT used to be know as Blount College once upon a time. Then, East Tennessee College. Names change if the reason is good enough.
