[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was admitted to HYPS on so-called "academic merit" and you know what? Many of the recruited athletes in my classes were getting just as good if not better grades than me. They have elite work ethic and time management skills so don't sound surprised that it often spills over to studying too. Stop it with the stereotypes.[/quote]

Thank You !

Employers also like former college athletes. The skill set speaks to determination, goal oriented, competitive, team player skills and good physical well being[/quote]

employers like former college athletes because they tend to be white and wealthy like them and because former athletes hire other former athletes so they're not constantly the dumbest person in the room.[/quote]

Athletes tend to be healthy-looking and can work on a team. They've dealt with wins and losses. They also can also often engage in small talk with colleagues and clients about sports.[/quote]

This just shows how low the bar is for athletes to be considered an “asset”. Well, athletes don’t generally set the office on fire so that’s why they’re hired. [/quote]
