about baseball during the summer? It is America’s pastime you know? I respond, “more like America’s naptime.” Other sports aren’t even on the same elite level as football.

With the events of the Sandusky scandal taking place primarily on the Penn State Campus, you have a variety of stakeholders affected both internal and external. The internal stakeholders in this case are the people on campus who were directly affected by the events that occurred (Crandall, Parnell & Spillan, 2013).
