They get around it in a variety of ways. Have a good buddy that played basketball at Princeton. He had teammates who had good, but not elite, grades in high school but got "minority academic opportunity" scholarships and shite like that to go play basketball there.
Basketball and football are different as they are at every school.
My cousin played football at Harvard , he didn’t get much money because his family is pretty well off, but he was only a 4.0 1250 guy.
He was a very good football player being recruited by FCS schools

yeah I know, I'm not arguing differently. Just gave you the winking gif when you said Ivy's don't give athletic scholarships because while they don't officially, they still figure out a way to do it.
I know they probably don't give AF about volleyball though.

Form what I understand, they certainly recruit athletes and allow lower GPAs and SAT scores.
They don’t give any actual monetary aid based on athletic ability. However everyone whose family makes under 125K (and for some schools, 150K), gets a full need-based tuition waiver which is pretty damn similar.
I suppose the athletes take out loans for books, flights home and things like that, if their parents can’t help with contributions, but that’s pennies compared to the cost of attendance.
