Hmm ... could you let us know where those big bucks are, we've been looking for them for a while ...

Personally, I don't believe in a move. Whilst it would make sense in terms of logistics (FedEx, Kickoff, venues) and operating cost (lower cost of living), the move would swallow a lot of money, and move FIRST away from the prestigeous MIT, and Dean. Sure, Indy and Indiana have a lot of good teams, but so do other cities and states. Tradition, unfortunately, has no bearing on this decision, though. Tradition cannot be measured in return on investment, and is out of the modern location management's decision process.

Having said that ... I'd love to have FIRST be in my home town
