Penn State’s appearance at the Big Ten media days got off to a rocky start this week after Jason Stahl, the College Football Player’s Association founder, reported his involvement with Penn State. At the center of the story is sixth-year quarterback Sean Clifford. According to Stahl, Clifford was the focal point of his efforts to unionize Penn State’s football team and spearhead negotiations with the Big Ten. With Penn State players, coaches, and administrators speaking on Wednesday, reporter Greg Pickel joins the BWI Daily to discuss the situation.
Storylines heading into Day Two of Big Ten Media Days
Pickel, reporting from Indianapolis, discusses the situation with the host of the BWI Daily, Thomas Frank Carr. They review the news today reported by Ross Dellinger that multiple sources pressured Clifford to back away from Stahl’s efforts, which led to a public airing of the situation at Penn State. T-Frank and Pickel walk through the different aspects of this situation. Firstly, how Clifford looks coming into his media appearance and the questions he will have to answer tomorrow in Indianapolis. What will he have to say about his side of the story? Pickel and T-Frank discuss.
Secondly, what sort of effect will this have on the Penn State football team? T-Frank asks Pickel if he thinks these actions by Clifford and the team have damaged relationships with the coaching staff. From there, they discuss how James Franklin and the athletic administration will handle the situation on Wednesday.
