This is possibly the dumbest thing I've heard all day.

WTF does a skydiving accident have to do with James Franklin? He doesn't hire the entertainment. And it looked like there were unexpected crosswinds swirling around the stadium. It's not like the skydiver could kick in the afterburners to go for a go-around.

Agreed, programs like Ohio State and Alabama know how to control crosswinds**
