It paid off, rather surprisingly, in Year 3 with a Big Ten championship season. It ended with a stirring Rose Bowl performance that announced the Nittany Lions were back. Franklin was voted Big Ten Coach of the Year. Perhaps that has caused us to reevaluate the man's coaching ability. These three years have proven Franklin can roll up his sleeves, get down in the weeds and win at two places where he was at a recruiting disadvantage.
People knew it was going to [take] time," Franklin said. They'd play all those guys. It's now OK to talk a bit more openly about football at Penn State. Franklin being the second permanent coach removed from Joe Paterno makes it so. So does winning a championship. Certainly, Franklin didn't realize that Penn State would come calling a few years later. He is certainly sensitive to the fact the victims should come first, but added, "Billy had to deal with that.
O'Brien certainly did. The now-Houston Texans coach should be anointed some sort of football saint for what he accomplished in two short seasons. Mauti was ready to throw -- punches, that is, at Illinois coach Tim Beckman. The linebacker from New Orleans had organized a solidarity rally on campus among seniors that got national attention.
We feel for the victims, but we're staying. Mostly they did stay -- those juniors and seniors who could have transferred. But not without pain. The de facto free agency caused an unsavory raid of Penn State players by rival coaches. It was a meat market. It wasn't pleasant by any means," he said. He pulls me aside and says, 'Mike, if Beckman was on my campus, I'd be swinging right now.
I was fired up already. That was like putting lighter to kerosene. The reduction comes one season after the NCAA scaled back the scholarships penalty following a glowing review by Mitchell in his first annual report.
Originally, Penn State would have been able to field only 65 scholarship players this season; now that number is at Before Monday's announcement, Penn State would have had 80 scholarships next season and a full 85 in The Nittany Lions also wouldn't have been eligible for the postseason until Now, Penn State can play in a bowl this season and will see its scholarship limit return to 85 in time for next season.
The university has complied with at least of those -- with three more in progress or on track. NCAA president Mark Emmert announced the major sanctions in July , penalties that some experts heralded as "worse than the death penalty," of shutting the program down entirely for a brief period.
This is a great thing for the university and the football program but there is still a lot to be done and a lot to be corrected. I think the NCAA saying this relief is because of the Mitchell report process is a cover for the fact that there was a faulty Freeh report.
Only nine players opted to transfer, and the Nittany Lions went on to win 15 games in the two seasons following the sanctions. Penn State is this season.
