James Franklin has reportedly been fired

This. The Death Penalty would have been a starting point. You seem to think money is the cure all. And poor Penn State .....they lost money.


Penn State

2024 total assets were $20.7 billion
2023 endowment $4.57 billion

Penn State got off easy.
You're one of those guys who wanted Joe's wins admonished, public executions, statues removed, legacies erased from time, demolish Beaver stadium, implode the training room, turn the locker room showers into an Auschwitz type museum, book deals for each victim and let's just get all of them on Ophrah so their stories are heard and all of America can abhorrently gasp in unison and put up some virtue signaling filter on their social media profile images. Even then, it wouldn't be enough for the likes of you because you embody the spirit of Helen Lovejoy.

What happened is disgusting and all of Penn State from its alum, fans, administration, and anyone associated with the school want's Sandusky *** raped multiple times per day until he dies a painful death. **** him with a broken broom handle, he is a total monster and deserves to die a torturous death. But some people will never feel as if enough punishment has been dealt, like you.
 
Franklin elevated Penn State from a Tier 4 program (which is still very good) to a Tier 2 program, just below the true national title contenders.

This went beyond Pitt and WVU fans.
Sure it did. But the Epstein thing shows the level of outrage depends on political leanings at the moment. If you hate Penn State, obviously the outrage is greater. Shouldn't be, but it's human nature.
 
He'll go to someplace like a MAC school where there won't be the pressure.
I dont think he'll coach again at all if he has to accept a job at a mid level. He'll go into being a analyst before he does that.
 
he wasnt earning it before..
I do believe he should have won the big one before being paid all that money but that's a ridiculous and unnecessary theme across many sports. A lot of these guys never really earn it. Dak Prescott getting 60 million a year w/o having never even been to a Super Bowl is beyond ludicrous. I personally dont think anybody should be getting paid more than Patrick Mahomes. Hes your bar. Anyone paid more than him is unacceptable.

Franklin was however the 16th ranked coach pay wise. Let me say this. There's not 15 NC winners above him. I think he was being paid fairly based upon saving Penn St from purgatory. They were consistently top 10 team and he was a good recruiter. He was pretty much good at everything just never elite. I think his salary was fair when you consider the coaches being paid more then him.

Meh.....I was told the victims are millionaires now and should be happy.

The Death Penalty should have been used is my opinion. It is disgusting that the people who knew what was going on simply let it go on....year after year. Powerful people....all in the name of the programn not to be tarnished.

Now fans look at it as a ....just a scandal. Victims are happy because they got millions. Sad.
 
Terminating the football program hurts more people than just Penn state itself. It effects students and the community. They were also banned from postseason play for 4 yrs. I dont think you can punish everyone due to 3-4 bad people. I'm not a Penn State fan, but I think they were hit pretty hard in general
Sure you can.

Depends on what the offense is. Known activity related to sexual assault/molestation and turning a blind eye is pretty huge.
