Universities are ditching the SAT en masse because it is an excellent predictor of outcome, and that is interfering with affirmative action political objectives (much easier to get away with racially discriminating against more-qualified Asian applicants if you can deny knowing they were more qualified). My goal in running a team is performance rather than political signalling, so I prefer to use the best performance metrics available to me.
