Parents who had previously outfitted their children in Tiger Woods branded golf apparel were understandably repelled by allegations of serial infidelity, and soon many of Woods' most longstanding sponsors were subjected to immense external and internal pressures regarding his status as the most highly compensated endorser in the world. As CNN Money reported recently in an article documenting Woods' fall from his rank as the highest paid athlete endorser in the world, observing that "Woods' scandal cost him several high-profile sponsors, most notably Pepsico's Gatorade, which ended its deal with Woods in February 2010" while also noting that "he also lost partnerships with General Motors' Buick, Proctor and Gamble's Gillette razors, and AT&T" (Isidore, 2012)

While it may be easy to understand why college sports programs would have a vested interest in making sure that players are not receiving gifts or financial compensation for playing at certain schools, when one considers coach compensation this rationalization becomes a little more difficult. Where college athletes receive no compensation for playing other than their education and occasionally a scholarship (things that are also available to all those students not playing sports), coaches can receive upwards of $1 million, with some receiving twice that (Byers, 1997, p
Literature Review The issue of paying college athletes has existed practically since the inception of national college sports, and the suspicion that compensation might somehow corrupt the sport is almost built into its history. Specifically, early college sports organizations were careful to stipulate that all players be amateurs, meaning, in the words of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, that a player must be "one who participates in competitive physical sports only for the pleasure and the physical, mental, moral, and social benefits directly derived therefrom" (Freedman, 2002, p
