Just to be clear, I was being a bit flip in my earlier post - irony often doesn't come across well online. I guess my point was that insofar as Mendoza was extolling Hansen's virtues in supporting student-athletes, there is at least some objective proof of success on that metric, insofar as our team was half of the Pac-12 All-Academic First Team. Academic achievement notwithstanding, I suspect Mendoza - as well as anyone with half a brain - recognizes that this hasn't gone the way anyone had hoped. I just don't understand why we're not pulling the ripcord when our trajectory seems to have flatlined at rock bottom...
