How overblown is the UCLA name???

Also, I would like to add that, yes, UCLA is an overhyped name. I’m a to-be-sophomore ('19) and I found that UCLA isn’t all that great in terms of athletics, academics, or basically anything else (other than the weather and the beauty of the campus, which are great) as of today. Perhaps back in the golden age with Wooden, we won plenty of NCAA Championships, and the academic name may be out there in recruiter’s minds, but I find the academic situation to be a bit lackluster. The fact that the institution is public also doesn’t help with the administration’s rep.
