“Love the show and always appreciate the insights. But I personally think you missed the mark on Franklins presser about NIL. First of all, he was loose and playful during the entire presser and what you saw was only a portion of that. And his strong reaction was to the NIL topic only and the new world of College football. He wasn’t making excuses about Penn State’s lack of success over the past several years.
And the reality is, if we all want PSU to remain competitive in recruiting and get the 4-5 star recruits we need to be able to match what the competition is offering. This is a college football problem, not a James Franklin problem. Can we instead recruit 2-3 star guys and not need as much money? Sure, but even with great game planning and coaching, the players on your roster matter. Size and speed matters. So either Penn State says they aren’t paying and tries winning with 2-3 star athletes or instead says they’re willing to pay the money other top programs are paying to recruit and keep 4-5 stars. Why is this a Franklin problem?”
