 The Poison Ivy That Plagues Scholarships:
 Essays Bought For Sports Stars

Release Date: 11th February
Reference Number: EsBy015

EssayBay.com have recently conducted a customer profiling exercise and found that over 45% of their customers are using the service to ensure that they have adequate academic scores to finalise sports scholarships – and 70% of those are doing so with the full consent of their sports coaches. It has also revealed that 92% of these customers are fighting for places at top universities.

It appears that star players and coaches are exploiting the Internet and updating the old technique of forcing academically gifted students to write essays for lesser able sports stars.

EssayBay.com recently received a request from a football coach from a high profile East Coast private school for seven full essays, all on the same subject, but each written in a different style and to a different grade. Further correspondence with the coach revealed that he needed the essays for football players who were slipping away from their chances at Ivy League scholarships because of their academic ability.

Many of the customers cited extra commitments such as sports, family and other extra-curricular activities as the motive for using EssayBay. Over 80% of customers had turned to EssayBay because they felt huge pressure to succeed from parents or teachers.

Since launching in America in 2007, EssayBay have seen sales double every month and they now boast a stable of writers with Harvard, Yale, and other Ivy League educations. They have also imported their best writers from the UK who trained at Oxford or Cambridge. EssayBay.com operates as a services auction site, connecting students and academics throughout the world.
