Vandy has some similarities, but not a Public U.

MSU meets the 1st criteria, but not the second.

USCe?

Kentucky. Like Indiana, they're a basketball blue blood. Their success on the basketball recruiting trail and the fact that they're the flagship school of their state shows me they could be successful in football if they put their mind to it.

Usce has always been a football first university tho. Not sec but uva seems really similar. Big state public u. Rich alums. Both dominated in football by non flagship in state schools that care more about football(vt,nd). Both have historically good bball programs.
