I'm pretty sure that NCAA requires DI and DII athletes to submit SAT or ACT scores for eligibility: http://www.ncaa.org/student-at...s/future/test-scores
DIII athletes don't register with NCAA so I'm assuming only the school's criteria would apply?
It seems that NAIA athletes have to meet two out of three academic criteria (test score being one of them): https://www.ncsasports.org/nai...-center/requirements
