One of the central aims of the Minimal Model Program is to show that a projective log canonical pair (X,Δ) with KX+Δ pseudoeffective has a good model, i.e. a minimal model (Y,ΔY) such that KY+ΔY is semiample. The goal of this paper is to show that this holds if X is uniruled but not rationally connected, assuming the Minimal Model Program in dimension dim X-1. Moreover, if X is rationally connected, then we show that the existence of a good minimal model for (X,Δ) follows from a nonexistence conjecture for a very specific class of rationally connected pairs of Calabi--Yau type.
