I guess I'm one of those people that can admit a grad applicant to a graduate program. The process all starts when the coach calls the graduate program director and asks us to meet with the student with or without the parents. The incoming grad applicant, has to:

1. Apply to a specific graduate program i.e. MBA, Masters in Information Management, Computer Science etc.
2. Have a certified undergraduate degree (BA, BS) and meets the master's program pre reqs
3. Meet the program's GPA and GRE requirements
4. Determine who pays the tutition (either athletic dept or the grad school)
5. Be interviewed to make sure the student is a good fit and plans to finish the program.

Masters program directors want serious students that have the capacity to finish the program and that they represent the university well after graduation. However, there is some wiggle room on some of the requirements (like waiving the GREs) and my colleagues in some of the other grad programs are less accomodating. I have found that the student athletes have been better students. They tend to work harder and have much better time management skills.

Edit - final thought, graduate students are not considered transfers, since they enter a grad program at the beginning. Very rare to have a student start a grad program by  transferring grad credits from another institution.
