In other words, the action in the stands could be more entertaining than the activities on the field. But in basketball-crazed Indiana, there are football gems to be found. And Indiana is making a push to control the flow of recruits in the state, a potential bonanza given that Crewcut Charlie Weis and Notre Dame seem to ignore what is happening in the backyard.
