The coach enrolled the student on the team, but at some point moved them to injured / inactive status. It was more than an admission bump, the students were actually listed as members of the team. They would have been included in university mailings and welcome events.

Even if they didn't get a scholarship, they had to know they were on a team. They probably even got welcome letters from upper class team mates. They were on team rosters.

Sorry, they would have known.
