My topic is going to deal with pressure on college athletes, narrowing down to cheating and collegiate athletes.

This is a great list. I also recommend you consider Bill Dowling's book, just because it is so locally significant. But the list seems quite strong. I am especially interested in the one that discusses "neutralization theory" which seems like it could make for a powerful frame for discussing the behaviors of college athletes, who must constantly have to choose between academics and athletics (or essentially choose athletics over academics) and must rationalize their irrational choices all the time.
