Research Blog #7: Your Case

I will not be using one specific case, but a general case of the  student-athletes in college sports being both mistreated or well-treated.  The two main stories are of Ken Waldrep, paralyzed while playing for TCU in 1974, and Eric Legrand, paralyzed while playing for Rutgers in 2010.  Both institutions reacted differently and thier stories contrast greatly.  I used these differences to analyze Public Relations reactions.
