MBA Sports

I was talking to a researcher at a university in New Zealand who is doing a research project in the field of sports and recreation. He has focused on discovering which sports are preferred by university undergraduates and graduates, so I asked him what he had learned about the sports that were played by MBA students.

Interestingly, most of the MBA students this researcher looked at preferred individual rather than team sports. He did not give me access to all the statistical data, but he said that the most popular sport played by MBA students at his university was squash, quite closely followed by tennis.

Of course this is New Zealand, and the national sport is Rugby football. He said that there were MBA students who played Rugby, but these were less than 10% of MBA male students, whereas the number overall was about 35% male students.
