#PSU coach James Franklin on Zoom: "While I appreciate the complexities and difficulties of this decision for the leaders of our conference, I’m extremely frustrated because we have very few answers to communicate to our young men."
Franklin: "I don’t necessarily have an issue with the decision. But I have an issue with the process and I've got an issue with the timing. It was challenging to keep getting up in front of my team and getting up in front of my parents and not having answers to their questions."
Franklin on #B1G decision: "I was not in the room. But I do know when you make a decision of this magnitude, that affects so many people on such a significant level, maybe the most important decision in the history of the Big Ten, it wasn’t made in ambiguity, it wasn’t vague."
#PSU coach Franklin on access for teams not playing this fall: "I don’t agree at all with the 12 hours [per week]. That makes no sense that other teams are going to be having a season, and we’re only going to get to work with our guys for 12 hours."
Franklin: "Do I think things are going to change? I don’t think we’re going to go back to a fall season. I don’t think the petitions and the voices are going to allow us to go back and say, ‘We’re going to play this fall.’ I wish that was the case, but I don’t see that happening"
