I think the James Franklin buyout would cost more than just $48 million.

Me seeing this when Penn State is protected by weird PA right to know laws.

To be fair, I could barely name a Penn State basketball player right now.

Daniel Gallen @danieljtgallen.bsky.social · 23h

no Penn State basketball player was voted onto the 10-man 2025-26 preseason All-Big Ten team. Purdue's Braden Smith, the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year and consensus First Team All-American, repeated as the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year.

I really don't think he's going to get fired, at least not after this season. I think next year, potentially, when a lot of the numbers are more digestible.

But I also don't think him saying "I'm done here" is out of the question.

James Franklin's buyout wouldn't be the only cost associated with firing him.

Bought parking for the Steelers game this weekend. Interesting fee structure here.

Man, what a time to have a niche Penn State blog that focuses on sports media/business through the lens of fandom.

Here's how much it might actually cost to fire and replace James Franklin.

A lot more than $48 million. buff.ly/8yTEFCX

Here's the updated BTN TV tracker. Illinois will have two games on there over the final six weeks.

Penn State still searching for its first conference game on there.

wait until you hear where the no. 1 and no. 7 teams have had games broadcast this year!

Alex Kirshner @alexkirshner.com · 1d

Preseason No. 2 team unranked by October is crazy enough but putting them on Peacock is a different level

Penn State-Iowa will be a night game at Kinnick Stadium that you will have to watch on a streaming platform
