BC had significant success at Princeton.  RW had success at a lower level school.

In both cases they have suffered from the usual problem of lack of depth.  Both the BB and FB programs lost some key players to injury or early departure and couldn't recover.  The big name schools have guys sitting on the bench who are almost as good as the starters.

I would think that it should be easier to build up the BB program, however.
