Maybe Penn St. isn’t the best place to sweep rapey stuff under the rug.

Please keep your questions related to Wisconsin. Coach Franklin, have the rape allegations against your 2 players hurt the team’s preparation going into the game against the Badgers?

He was obviously under instructions to handle it exactly as he did.

They called them former players, so I am guessing they were kicked off the team. No need to disparage them until the legal process plays out. They are still due their day in court no matter what the fricking pansy arse media thinks. You never know these days, bitches be crazy.

The media' inability to understand simple words is not a cowardly move on his part. The media was told twice that there would be no comments on this, then proceeded, with OCD focus, to only ask about the one thing they had been told there would be no comment on.

Not the first time he's been accused of inaction when a rape occurs. Now he just looks like a chickensh*t.

Probably a good idea not to discuss the situation before the trial. Good move imo.

did the rapes involve Penn State at all, other than the perps being former players? If not, how does Penn State fit into this at all? And believe me, I'm no Penn State defender.

Easy answer. Ready? " I cannot comment on pending litigation". Isn't that an amazing answer?

He’s spineless.

The administration did inform the media that there would be 'no comment' on the pending litigations. In my opinion, there was nothing cowardly about his decision to yield to the question(s).

Penn State is a strange place in a bad way

Media will jump on anything, so frick them they get what they deserve.

Penn State, like Oregon, is consistently the most highly over-rated team in the history of athletic competition.

Why should we care?

Dude is a coward and so overrated. How long does he get to make a playoff?

I don’t blame him. Who are these losers asking the dumb questions when we just told you not to
