Couple questions. 1. Not enough minorities in sports or not enough low scoring
minorities in sports?
2. What white players would they be replacing? The one or two on the bball team? or the white QBs or kickers? Baseball? Women's sports? Track and Field?
3. If it is not targeted at white athletes the who are they targeting?
They did say equity so they are trying to up the minority count and lower the white count but doing it through athletics? Are there a lot of low scoring black gymnasts or maybe golfers? Baseball or softball players?
The logic is, as usual, non-existent and I suspect what will happen is the players mostly effected will be minorities because my observations are that most of the athletes that are both more talented than current players and low scoring (hence go D-II or JC) would be replacing other minorities that were sufficiently talented with scores high enough to get into school. I don't believe there are minorities in a wide range of sports that are not talented enough nor have too low of test scores to play that sport at a university. I would bet 95% or higher of these targeted athletes play either basketball, track, or football (which are already heavily minority occupied). To me this is just more virtue signaling.

Not that I totally disagree with you but I know the thinking is more in-line with not having to lower to help

If a kid can't pass a low threshold on a standardized test, then how do you think he "earned" any passing grade?
