After James Franklin’s comments Tuesday night, Penn State made several players and coaches available. Bauer and T-Frank caught up with several of them and share what they learned from those players and staff members in the roughly 15 minutes of interview time. T-Frank spoke with new center Hunter Nourzad and receiver Trey Wallace while Bauer spoke with running back’s coach Ja’Juan Seider.

Franklin opens up about NIL

While he said nothing new on Tuesday evening, Franklin’s comments about the NIL and facilities took on a new meaning. Franklin was frank about his assessment of what the program needs when asked about the public debate around the Board of Trustees election this week. Bauer, BWI’s leading expert on this subject, will discuss the intricacies of that topic with T-Frank.
