    Location is the main reason. It is centrally located for the entire nation and it has enough hotel rooms for players and staff and it has very close medical facilites that also have state of the art equipment and MRI's that can handle 600lb patients. Moreover, it is a large facility that can accomadate the size of the needs and be totally indoors...............there is an NFL contract with the RCA dome

    ding, ding, ding!!!

    no!!!!!!

    I have a better answer! plus+ I think it's right!

    I can't believe no one mentioned that Indianapolis is

    where The NCAA "national office" is located-- Approximately 350 paid professionals that implement the rules and programs established by the membership. The national office staff is located primarily at the headquarters office in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    Its because if the combine wasnt so close the colts would get lost when the coaches and their scouts came :ha:

    the combine used to be made up by teams who ran their own private workouts........it become a logistic nightmare and expensive.........so Gil brandt came up with the idea to have the players all come to the teams one time and all the teams would share the costs.........Brandt had a ton of input on where it was to be held..........but Indy was selected because it was centrally located and had everything that they needed space wise..........

    so Bongo, you're saying that it has nothing to do with the NCAA being located there? I'm thinking if I write that down for Final Jeopardy Alex is going to make me a very happy man... that is if I wager enough.
