    16 — The Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications • Vol. 4, No. 2 • Fall 2013 Pay for Play: Analysis of the Image Restoration Strategies of High Profile College Athletes Jacob H.

The study found a consistent use of traditional strategies such as mortification, corrective action, and denial from the athletes and associated parties. This research demonstrates the level of promi- nence that college athletes have been elevated to and concludes they be recognized from a public relations standpoint accordingly. Given the national attention and loyalty that college athletics receive, this study would provide an important foundation for future research on a rapidly evolving section of society as well. I.
