College Athletics and Admission

<p>I'm a high school senior and I'm looking at playing football next year at some Division 3 schools. Does anyone know how much pull these coaches will have in getting me into the school? I know major athletic programs like Alabama and even D2 programs can get you in by just telling the admissions office that they're recruiting you, but what about D3? and if so, is it true that they can give you random scholarships so you can afford it?</p>
