Penn State football coach James Franklin goes in depth on the changing world of college football.
College sports, notably football, changed dramatically July 26, when the NCAA and the so-called "Autonomy Five" conferences released their proposed settlement to three antitrust lawsuits regarding athlete compensation. From here, athletic departments must figure out a new model of revenue sharing, roster limits and NIL.
We're going to do these things to educate people to get the masses to understand and be involved, because that's the power of Penn State, right? The numbers that we have. So getting everybody to kind of have a better understanding, a feel for it and be comfortable with the concept of it and the philosophy of it is really what we're trying to do. And I think the people that have been open to it and heard us out, I think have been I've been pretty good and pretty supportive.
The other story I tell is the Saquon Barkley story, partly because he was there. I remember when we first decided to do the throwback uniforms , and the only way I could get that done was by agreeing with the athletic director that, when the game was over, we would auction off those jerseys to pay for them. And I remember Saquon as well some other guys, they wanted their jerseys and couldn't have their jerseys.
