Yeah me too. You could criticize Franklin about a lot of things, but not caring about his players is not one of them.
Of the things about Coach Franklin that may be of concern, the authenticity of his affection for the players ranks near the bottom.
He could/would have been placed on a medical scholarship. Could t play anymore but still keeps a scholarship, but doesn’t count v the limit
There is no such thing as a "medical scholarship." Once a player is medically disqualified from participating in sports, it's entirely at the discretion of the school whether it continues providing financial aid. It's not automatic.
having been around employment cases your logic is spot on. using JF in the claim is showmanship by plaintiff's counsel.
Thanks. I have represented predominantly plaintiffs but sometimes defendants in discrimination and wrongful termination cases. If Lynch had a legitimate claim against Franklin, his lawyer shouldn’t have blown the statute of limitations.
Try posting that in a game day thread.
A current BOT member embarrassing themself again. Nice temper tantrum during the stadium vote Barry!
Actually have to revise my early comments since I read the original complaint last night. Lynch filed a whistleblower lawsuit based on PA’s whistleblower statute. Never involved in any whistleblower cases but as I read the statute, Lynch has no claim against Franklin since the statute clearly states that no EMPLOYER shall retaliate against a whistleblower. Lynch’s lawyer pled an alleged civil conspiracy claim against PSU and Franklin and claims of violation of public policy against the two defendants, Hershey Medical Center and Dr. Black. Again never involved in whistleblower cases but in my experience if you don’t have a good claim against someone be sure to include a civil conspiracy claim.
Why would I? Much like many tools in life, when used properly it's great. When used negatively, it's not.
This is resembling conversations that I have with my high school aged kids.
Says someone posting on this board (which in reality is just as stupid as Twitter, Instagram, etc.). Just saying. And yes, I am also posting on this board.
That's the irony here. Twitter is essentially a huge message board, not that unlike this one. It's a bunch of people posting topics and then people commenting on them. The biggest differences are that Twitter is harder to moderate due to its size (not good) and you can filter the content that shows up in your feed (good).
Interesting testimony by Dr. Black yesterday. Said O’Brien was behind Sebastianelli’s firing in 2013. Never understood that move since he was situated in State College and is the person responsible for Talifero being able to walk today. Says Joyner told him O’Brien wanted Sebastianelli out and if Black wouldn’t find a replacement, he would hire someone from the University of Virginia if necessary. IMHO re-hiring Sebastianelli in 2019 was the logical thing to do since he should never have been fired in the first place.
yep, a small board where everyone has a common interest in PSU vs a huge board of who knows who- from who knows where spreading misinformation from every corner of the globe- yeah they look exactly the same
Ok, fair enough. How about just not calling people idiots for things they enjoy. Have a nice day.
I think that Dr. Black may be pretty gullible.
That he took anything Fester said at face value.
Well maybe you could explain to us who was responsible for Sebastianelli,who was the team doctor for years, is responsible for Talifero being able to walk today, has offices and operating privileges in State College, being replaced in 2013 by a doctor with offices in Hershey and no operating privileges in State College. I’ll wait.
I didn't "call" anybody anything. I just made a statement. And thank you, I will. You do the same.
