Penn State Internal Review Finds 'Friction' Between Coach Franklin and Team Doctor

Reported 6 months ago

Penn State's internal review in 2019 uncovered evidence of tension between football coach James Franklin and a former team doctor, unable to determine if NCAA bylaws or Big Ten standards were violated. The report revealed conflicts between Franklin and the doctor but left uncertain if any rules were broken, prompting further investigation recommendations. The doctor, Dr. Scott Lynch, won a $5.25 million wrongful termination lawsuit, claiming Franklin influenced medical decisions. Penn State maintains its commitment to athletes' well-being and NCAA compliance.
