Pat Kraft fired James Franklin to start the Penn State search as early as possible…

Spoke to Urban, NIL disagreements

Elko was close, couldn’t close

Spoke to Cignetti, Rhule, Freeman, Drinkwitz, and Lea. Struck out.

Kalani Sitake staying at BYU is a massive blow to Penn State.

This is a disaster in State College. They thought this one was wrapped, now have to pivot very quickly.

My goodness

I come from a BYU family, so it’s always a great time to be BYU Cougar fan.

But the past few years have taken it to a whole new level. Things are happening that many of us could not envision becoming reality.
