Been Franklin'd

We're being bullhooed IMHO we need to look at Chesney and use the money we're tossing around and invest in NIL WE need talent. We also need to support other sports as well. The fact Franklin had a fort knox at PSU and was fired makes me laugh that he'd do better here. NIL is a game changer and old system coaches aren't doing that well. Saban knew it. ** Edited by UberHOKIE at 11/8/2025, 12:58:53 PM
