@data10, as always, really helpful info.

One possible takeaway here is that if the school values diversity (income, racial, etc), you will be crowded out by athletes if you are white and well off. Which takes us full circle to the value of being recruited - especially if you are in that pool.

Schools have all sorts of buckets to fill as they create a class. Every student fills a few - from gender, need, geography, etc. So if the athletic recruits are accepted for what they provide to a team, they are also starting to fill the other buckets. By RD, there may not be a lot of room left in some of them.
