Athletes at the 120 schools in college football's top tier enjoy strikingly better odds of having admission requirements bent on their behalf.
An Associated Press review of admissions data submitted to the NCAA shows that athletes at 27 schools were at least 10 times more likely to benefit from special admission programs than students in the general population.
That group includes 2009 Bowl Championship Series teams Oregon and Georgia Tech. It also includes Alabama, which is playing Texas for the national title Jan. 7.
NCAA officials called the AP review the most extensive such study to date.
