College kids partying ?……………..What a surprise

Sometimes the legal framework/language of a contract takes too long and is unclear about its intent . Thus a MoU is created in simpler terms and faster so parties can move on.

Lets face it we are putting our complete trust in Crean whoever his coaches are, whoever he recruits, whoever he keeps on the team etc.

I keep wondering what everyone's expectations are for him ( not predictions ). I think mine are :

1. NCAA every year but year 1
2. Always lands 3 of Indiana's top 10 players and at least 1 in the top 4
3. Everyone plays 2 years minimum
4. 90% graduate
5. No more than one player kicked off every 3 years
6. B-10 titles every 3 years

The more I think about All the suspensions this year that were given with no explanation and then I think about the previous years where there were hardly no suspsension....even under Mike Davis....I am really fed up with some of these guys.
