My neice was recruited for basketball. The Bucknell coach told her she was in - and her sats were below the minimum. Actually they were 10 points below the minimum, and he said “we” can pull that up.

The impression was that there was a definite minimum that even athletes had to meet, but that the athletic department would do everything they could to help the student pull their scores up.

She ended up going somewhere closer to her home.
