Weep not for someone who's collecting nearly 49 million in buyout money.
James Franklin turned out NFL-ready pros and 10-win seasons with regularity. It also never translated into Penn State beating the programs it considers its peers with regularity, either. And after three seismic losses in a row, it was time to go. apnews.com/article/penn-s…
Of course he does, because it screws mid-majors.

So @kenpomeroy's preseason rankings are out. Ranking @MVCsports as tenth best conference ~ @BradleyUMBB as the best team and only @BelmontMBB winning 20 games. According to those conference predictives, no dominant team.
Hard to argue with any of this.
It seems that America is now a dictatorship where the rules of democraic law no longer apply. No-one shoudl go to America as they will face the same issues. Move the @Olympics and World Cup as spectators and players won't be safe.

BREAKING: Trump doesn't remember/believe/understand HE was president on January 6, 2021 This is how unstable, how mentally unbalanced, how much of a dangerous mixture of dishonesty and insanity Trump is: "Biden's FBI?" By Jan. 6 2021, TRUMP had run the FBI for 1,448 days #25A
This one ends at 7:21 p.m. as a 3-2 Valpo win after Lilly Merk puts down a long pass on match point. Tough loss for SIU (8-11, 2-4), which led 2-0 against the Beacons (14-5, 5-1) and couldn't put them away. Salukis travel to SEMO Tuesday night at 6.
Timeout SIU after Valpo takes an 11-8 lead on a tip by Jordyn Gove in the 5th set. Salukis led 6-3 but the Beacons have controlled play from that point.
SIU gets the fast start it needed in the 5th set, taking a 5-2 lead and forcing a Valpo timeout. Consecutive kills by Kelly Franklin give her 22 for the night.
Heading to 5 after Valpo wins the 4th set 25-13. Remember, in the 5th set in the college game, it's first to 15. So a fast start is vital. SIU hit minus .065 in the 4th game. Can it come up with answers in the 5th?
Monitor time as SIU asks for a reversal of a call that the ball was out, which would give Valpo a 15-8 lead in the 4th set. Salukis up 2-1 in the match but are careening towards a 5th set unless they do something good and soon.
SIU out of sorts to start the 4th game as Valpo roars out to a 12-6 lead. Brittany Harry using a timeout in order to extract better play from her team. Salukis would like to avoid a 5th set but unless they get going soon, that's where we're heading.
Valpo closes out the third set 25-22 and cuts the SIU lead to 2-1. It wasn't that the Salukis played badly -- they hit .419 -- but the Beacons hit .424. We'll go to set 4 at Davies.
Valpo pushed its lead to 22-16 but SIU is trying to rally and win in 3. Cecilia Bulmahn's kill has brought the Salukis within 23-20 and the Beacons have asked for time.
Valpo 15-12 in the third game. The mandatory TV timeout might be coming at a good time for SIU, which is having trouble scoring off its serve.
