Do athletics play a role in admissions?

that’s false. Some schools still want their recruited athletes to meet their minimal standard. There are many instances where a coach wants certain players, but couldn’t get them in because they can’t meet the minimum academic standard (UCLA/Stanford/Ivy League are known for their strict policy on admitting recruited athletes).

On the other hand, schools from SEC or Big TEN or USC or other football frenzy schools will admit any players that coaches want even if their GPA is 0.0.
