Yes, I imagine that colleges will continue with their historical practices until lawsuits force them to stop. Getting rid of the SAT actually helps them in this regard, by making it harder to tell that they are still treating applicants of different races differently. One 'tell' will be if students who don't submit scores are disproportionately likely to get in if they are of a certain race (as evidenced by their personal statement, club membership, etc., since this can no longer be explicitly asked on the application).
