Athletics & Admission: Hook or not?

I’m very confused!

On some boards I’ve read that athletes do have a hook for admission even if they aren’t elite/exceptional, but have enough skill to compete at the collegiate D3 level. I’ve also heard that any coach can tip an athlete and that if an athlete is qualified and a strong applicant being recruited allows them to be admitted. Bowdoin said something about having different levels of tips for the athletes who are great, but don’t have great grades…

Can anyone explain how much being an athlete helps at Pomona? :/
