the Applewhite situation isn't directly analogous to the track and field coach. Applewhite didn't have a long term relationship with an athlete under his direct control. While I'm sure the training assistant or whoever the student was indirectly under the control of the football team, it's a little difference than your exact boss. In my job, if I had a relationship with a manager from another department it would be watched but not forbidden, but I couldn't have one with my boss.
