At my work-study gig I work closely with the athletics department staff and, though pwoods already said it pretty well, I can say from experience that getting recruited can make the admissions process a breeze.

This is true for transfer students, too. I’ve actually hear a football coach say, “You’re being recruited. So, you don’t have to do any essays,” to a potential transfer who was visiting the facility.
