Seems the skills acquired by student athletes working in teams, working hard towards a goal, and managing extreme time commitments actually pay off after college. I have heard an Ivy admissions say the outcomes of student athletes are better than non-athletes despite their academic admissions boost - but had not seen the literature (no secret Wall St etc has preference for athletes and those are results oriented environments).[/quote]

athletes at Ivy League schools already are rich and largely white. If they didn’t achieve success that would be concerning.

Wall Street doesn’t have a preference for athletes, it’s a nepotistic hiring process so teammates favor their former teammates. Let’s not pretend it’s some example of merit based hiring. [/quote]

Haha there is a definite preference for athletes. They do better at performing multiple tasks while getting screamed at then your average high stat problem set jockey and are relatively better prepared for the eat what you kill grind.  It’s not a country club.
