Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel: "show me an athlete who did well academically."

Parents of non-athlete kids. This is why schools give preferences to athletes.

Elite employers see their real world track record

Was there some argument that said preferences are illegitimate?

[Anonymous]

That's fine.

Is there a reason you are targeting this at parents of non athlete kids ?

I consider the source of the opinion, and since I do not respect the source, I do not care.

Yeah, coming from an athlete it would mean more. The closest Ken Griffin has gotten to sports is, I dunno, a GameStop.

But sure let’s keep worshipping people who made money investing large gobs of money handed to them by their wealthy parents. Real heroes, those guys.

the athletes that are good students are usually bullied and mobbed for being nerds. Thats bs bullies are insecure so even though they maybe illiterate if they aren't called out for harassing people they will mess with good student athletes.

OP sn't wrong that schools like students who will grow up to embezzle and defraud and then tithe to the school.

Griffin made that statement at the Milken Institute, founded by Michael Milken, perhaps the greatest financial criminal in American history, pardoned be Donald Trump.

On what planet have you observed this? I played elite sports through college and got good grades and nobody I know experienced this.

You think insecure illiterate criminal jocks are not bullies? You think students who follow the rules like to get in fights with team mates. You probably think crime and violence in schools are not covered up.

You are like most of the students- no logic, no common sense. This would make sense if you are a student without critical thinking skills.
