How much does athlete recruitment "actually" help?

being a recruit can EXTREMELY help you especially if you have decent grades and are good enough to play in the ivies. i know kids in my school who were in the bottom half of the school and are playing sports at columbia, yale, dartmouth etc. so it can help a ton. now if you are a top athlete AND student- you may not be put on the “coach’s list” so that you do not use up a spot that could be used to boost another lesser student’s chances in the admissions process
