In this Strategy Simplified episode, you’ll hear a McKinsey case interview example built around a real-world investment decision.

The client is a public university considering whether to add an inter-collegiate football program. 

Led by former McKinsey Senior Associate Jali Packer, this case challenges a candidate to assess costs, revenues, and strategic tradeoffs for a football program at a 10,000-student university in the Southern U.S.

If you want to practice structuring an open-ended question like “Is this a good idea?” – and see how McKinsey interviewers test thinking along the way – this case is for you.
