Rashard Griffith is a Chicago native who played basketball for the Wisconsin Badgers from 1993-1995. Under Stu Jackson and Stan Van Gundy (current New Orleans Pelicans head coach), he helped end Wisconsin's 47-year NCAA Tournament drought before leaving Wisconsin early to play professionally in Europe. In 2017, Griffith returned to the University of Wisconsin; this time as a student to complete his degree. 

Griffith is currently writing his memoir about finding extreme financial success at a young age and trials that surround such a situation.
