There is another relevant question:  what percentage of the athletes would have been admitted but/for athletics?

I don’t think you can fairly analyze the issue until you answer that question.

And then perhaps the most important - how do the athletes (the ones that don’t go pro) fare economically 5 years later. 10 years later. And how does that compare with his peers.

Difficult to follow I suspect

That would make for a pretty interesting thesis.
