It's all about about recruiting. Good players, even LDS want nothing to do with INDY. SO, obvious that players are jumping ship. Recruiting is never going to be P5 level, NEVER., but it can be good G5 level and even  USF/UCF level once in a while. 

Money arguments: BYU 115th, USF top 20.

We play P5 teams: We are 1-13 against winning P5 teams, about 30% overall. 

Go prove you're a good G5 team again and maybe we get into a p5 conference. Stay INDY and be ranked 115th.
