OK, maybe I don't give a fluff about grad rates, but that's because a lot of schools have their players major in eligibility and Kyle has to play that game. But as for running a clean program, I respect the hell out of Kyle for doing that.
Yes, there are worse things than going 9-4 every year. There are also much better things than going 9-4 every year, and I don't even expect them every year. I just want them to happen at least once: Win the South. Play in the Rose Bowl. That's what being in the Pac-12 is all about. It's not about going 27-1 in non-league games. It's not about playing in the league's 6th or 7th-best bowl. It's not about leaving BYU in the dust. Those are nice, help keep the program in a favorable light and make sure Kyle has more money than he'll ever need. But it hasn't done a thing toward achieving the two primary objectives the program has set for itself every year.
