I'm very confused by your statements. Maybe it's too early but I legitimately don't understand what you said. Can you please explain a little?

They're saying the schools accept (measure) applicants on both their academic and sporting prowess. I believe they are suggesting that, if a child is not very academic, a parent may try to get their child into a prestigious school by "encouraging" them in sports.
