Ivy League schools care about sports during admission process. By most estimates, 20–25% of Ivy League students are recruited athletes. They receive no athletic scholarships. They get a significant advantage in admissions but are still very good students. If the average SAT of non-athletes is, say, 1500, the average of the athletes might be 1350.
