Doesn’t the NCAA require athletes to report standardized tests?

NCAA Division I and II academic eligibility requires SAT or ACT scores in addition to specified high school courses and GPA: http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/future/test-scores

In theory, NCAA Division III schools are supposed to “hold student-athletes to the same overall standards for the institution in which they’re enrolling”: http://www.ncaa.org/about/what-we-do/academics . But that does mean that if an NCAA Division III school is also test-optional, a student-athlete meeting its normal admission standards may not have submitted SAT or ACT scores.
