William & Mary said its athletics department is allowed to “officially recommend, or refer, a limited number” of applicants each year.Georgia Tech said nearly 2 percent of admitted students for the entering class of 2018 and more than 3 percent of those who enrolled were recruited athletes.Priority recruits account for about 1 percent of all admission offers.
