The announcement for Penn State's 2024 Whiteout date is still up in the air, and coach James Franklin said Thursday that it's due to several external factors.
Penn State head coach James Franklin greets students at Beaver Stadium before the Whiteout game against Auburn on Sept. 18, 2021. Joe Hermitt | [email protected], Penn State coach James Franklin doesn’t know when the 2024 Whiteout will be, either, as fans eagerly await an official announcement.
“As you can imagine, if I could tell you, I would,” Franklin said. “It’s not solely my answer or even Pat’s answer. If we want to provide the opponent, the experience and the time of day that our fan base wants and expects, there’s a lot of pushing, pulling, compromising and working with the conference — and working with TV partners — to try to find a win-win for everybody.”
Illinois, UCLA and Washington then seem like reasonable options, too, depending on the external factors Franklin mentioned. However, he’ll be slow to give any hints away. FOX, CBS and NBC’s battle for broadcasting rights over an expanded Big Ten schedule has delayed Penn State’s home game theme announcement, as it came on June 1 and May 15 the past two summers. Yearly traditions like the Stripeout, THON game and Miltary Appreciation all have to wait on the Whiteout before finding their landing spots.
