There is no quota on "exceptional" athletes.  If we happened to have a chance at Tiger Woods, Katie Ledecky, John McEnroe all in the same year, even if they were on the lower range of the academic side, we would like admit all of them, provided they weren't below a minimum bar.  If the next year, we were only looking at one exceptional athlete, and she was below the bar, the fact that she was the only athlete of her caliber wouldn't help her.

Athletes are not competing against one another from an admissions perspective (they may be competing against one another for a limited number of scholarships, of course).
