There are most certainly non athletes in those scatter plots...

Sure deep pockets, alumni requests, etc but most of them are athletes.

No, most of them are diverse students who come from academically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Not accurate remove the word "considerably", replace it with slightly.

Every player/recruit is different, the top kids can get in with considerably less academic credentials.

Simply not a true statement.
