Good for him, but “your school” is #1 on the hit parade (with a 20% graduation rate - the worst in the entire country). Did you even click the link and look at the study?

Thought it was a nice story...and no I didn’t read the entire PDF...because I had no idea that we had fallen “so” far.

I can guarantee you this: That’s not happening now. We had serious coaching problems (and changes) during that time. For the years that the study involves, our Basketball program was a complete debacle...we lost several entire recruiting classes to transfer (which I remember at the time was a HUGE concern regarding the AGR). Plus, we had the lovely Gene Chizik for two years before he set off to ruin Auburn’s Program. It’s funny, but I expected that he would “end” the way he did. Iowa State may not be a mecca of college football, but watching a team coached by him on game day was akin to getting a root canal.

All I can say is that our nightmare “lost” half-decade is over...I expect you will see an entirely different result with the recruits that have been brought in by Coach Rhoads & Coach Hoiberg.
