I live right by SMU. It's pretty much known as Highland Park community college. Basically it's for rich kids who couldn't get into a more prestigous school. With that being said, being valedictorian at any University is impressive

That was really rude of him.

Even if you think SMU is a bullshit school (which it ISN'T), he was a an analyst at GOLDMAN SACHS. They don't hire mouth breathers. This isn't the firm from "AMERICAN PSYCHO." Clark didn't sit around listening to his goddamn walkman and filling in crossword puzzles.

Funny thing is, I can picture BOTH Pioli as Dr. Evil [duh] AND Clark as Seth Green.

It's not Stanford or Ivy League, for sure.

It's not a "state school" either.

In my experience it's never wise to try and gauge someone's intelligence based on how they come across in a conversation. Intelligence and communication skills don't always go hand-in-hand.

There's a reason why they call SMU the Harvard of the South, and it's not because of their ultra liberal educational agenda.

I'm sure Clark went to school there because he's a legacy, and his daddy was a major booster.

Laughing at the guys who probably scrape shit for a living saying just because Clark was a valedictorian at SMU doesn't mean he's smart.

Just because you're not book smart doesn't mean YOUR version of smart is equal to book smart. It's not. Not even close.

There's a reason Harvard doesn't call itself the "SMU of the North."

I am sure he was ACCEPTED there because of those 2 things, yes.

But neither of those things factored into him graduating FIRST in his class.

Holy shit. Saying someone is "smart" just because they were an analyst at Goldman Sachs. That is some funny shit right there.

Agreed

Valedictorian is NOT an award you can buy, it's meritorious. I don't particularly care for Clark as an NFL Owner, but people trying to paint him as dumb, really need to check themselves.

Who knows...maybe he spent all his money on people to do his papers for him.

Agreed.
