EssayBay Press High school coaches engage in foul play
 to get athletes into top schools

February 14, 2008

A recent study by essaybay.com revealed that high school athletic coaches are breaking the rules in their efforts to assist student athletes in the college application process.

Problems arose when an EssayBay writer refused to provide service to a football coach who had plagiarism in mind, said Jed Hallam, an EssayBay representative. The coach said he needed the essays for football players who wanted Ivy League scholarships but did not meet the academic credentials to receive them.

Launched in September 2007, the essay company serves as a legal resource that connects customers with professional EssayBay writers who edit or change their work.

EssayBay expects customers will seek help without committing academic dishonesty.

But a customer profiling exercise conducted by the company divulged surprising news: Over 45 percent of EssayBay customers are using the service to ensure that they have adequate academic scores to finalize sports scholarships and 70 percent are doing so with the full consent of their sports coaches. The study also revealed that 92 percent of these customers are competing for a spot at top universities.

EssayBay learned that over 80 percent of customers had turned to the service because they felt pressure to succeed from parents or teachers. Since its debut, sales at EssayBay have doubled every month.

"Our primary market is the student population; we provide them with the help they need that they can't get from their educational institutions," said Hallam, who added that the company is part of the Academic Answers Group, which strives to protect academic values and prevent plagiarism.

Hallam also noted that the writers, many of whom attend Ivy League institutions, often retain full copyrights of their work.
