The only way Indiana is a top 5 job, is if you're basing that on past championships. My top 5 jobs now would be Duke, UNC, UCLA, Kentucky and Kansas. After that I think you get into the second tier jobs where you have 5-10 teams all grouped together (Mich. St., Florida, Arizona, Indiana, Louisville, UConn, etc.). Still it would be an upgrade for Pearl to go from Tenn. to Indiana. Tenn. will always be football first, women's hoops second, men's hoops third.
