Literature review #3

Image result for penn state
2)Proffitt, Jennifer M., and Thomas F. Corrigan. "Penn State's "Success With Honor": How Institutional Structure and Brand Logic Disincentivized Disclosure." Sage. Sage Publications, 2012. Web. 30 Apr. 2016.
3) This research paper strongly corresponds to "the meaning of privatization". It shows the fact that football programs of this stature are given the right to break the rules and also shows how people are willing to put their careers and lives at steak to protect these programs.

4) Jenifferr M. Proffitt has a PhD in mass communications at penn state university. That alone would qualify her for my piece, however i believe the fact that she actually attended penn state and was there during the time of the sandusky scandal gives her a larger insight as to what was going on and why.

Thomas F. Corrigan also has a PhD from Penn State university for mass communications although he is currently a professor in california. His collabration with Proffitt opens up many doors for exploration and places for insight that a single author piece would not have.

5) "Community": a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.


"economic motivaton: Motivation crowding theory, in labor economicsand social psychology, suggests that extrinsic motivators such as monetary incentives or punishments can undermine intrinsic motivation.

6) " “acquiring high salary”… “Coaches in hopes of attracting recruits, gate receipts, and alumni donations (Knight Commission 99)” (Proffitt, Corrigan 323).

"media coverage tends to focus on the individuals involved rather than the corporatized universities economic motivations" (1)

"Although self sustaining intercolleiate athetics programs are ideal, universities by no means want to dissafiliate from athletics" (323)

7) This piece has a high value because it enables me to use a real life example of a higher education institutions privatized economic motivations when dealign with wrongdoing by an athletic team.
