1. Ysgrammor and Yngol happened not only hundreds of years before, but Yngol's Barrow is right next to Windhelm. Magic residue is far-fetched and writers of old loved embellishment. If you look at the book with a critical, realistic eye, Yngol got swallowed up in a storm and Ysgrammor was upset. No more, no less.

2. Red Mountain makes no sense because of it's location and time of eruption. This is just an excuse. The higher-ups or older members of the college know the reason, they just don't wish to admit fault.

3. I was going to mention the students who summoned the pirate daedra, but that doesn't quite add up.

4. The Augur of Dunlain is a mystery and a big possibility. He is never explained. He's just there, with no given reason how or why. If "it" were once man, he could have to go through some magic process in order to achieve his current state.

5. All things considered, the lack of damage to the college, the mysterious augur, and everyone within the college's avoidance of the topic... All signs point to the college being the culprit one way or another. Not embellished writing, not an eruption halfway across the world that happened 117 year beforehand, but mages. Mages who have lax rules when it comes to magic, mages who close themselves off to the world and are fairly unwelcoming.
