IU's Top 10 Disasters of the Year

1. Kelvin gets fired.
2. The way IU handles the circus of the week leading to the firing.
3. IU announces before the season self-reporting some impermissible phone calls.
4. IU and Sampson try to make Rob Senderoff the fall guy.
5. Just before the 3 biggest games of the year, the NCAA announces allegations of 5 major violations including Sampson lying to them and the university.
6. Half the team skips the first practice under Dakich.
7. IU names Dakich interim even though players wanted McCallum.
8. A.J. Ratliff gets suspended for 1st semester.
9. A.J. Ratliff comes back only to leave the team for good a few weeks later.
10. Jordan Crawford suspended.
11. Armon Bassett suspended.
12. Jamarcus Ellis suspended.
13. Bud Mackey busted for dealing cocaine.
14. Devin Ebanks asks out of LOI.
15. Holloway expected to ask out of LOI.
16. IU announces 10-person pink-ribbon committee for coaching search.
17. IU announces above right before IU's NCAA tournament game.
18. IU gets screwed with #8 seed.
19. IU proves committee right by getting ass kicked by Arkansas.
20. IU loses Big Ten title hopes on bank shot by Brian Butch on same day NCAA announces allegations of major violations.
21. IU loses to Minnesota in the cursed Big Ten Tourney on a play that is compared to the hated Christian Laettner.
I know this is supposed to be a Top 10 list, but I could probably get to 100 if I tried. So, I will stop here, but there are still a few more to come:
22. IU hires wrong coach. According to Andy, this will be Pat Summit.
23. IU current players transfer (Bassett, Crawford, etc.)
24. IU becomes completely insignificant in the college basketball scene.
