Does anyone know whether Bucknell’s coaches have any sway in the admissions process for their recruited athletes?

If so, do the admission preferences exist in all sports or just the glamour sports of football & basketball.

Do any of the present or former Bucknell students know of any instances when a recruited athlete got a push in the admissons office?

[Note: by sway in the admissions process I mean that the Bucknell applicant is in the lower tier of the school’s SAT range (ie. 1200+) as opposed to the upper 1300s.]

Thanks.
