What James Franklin’s $50M Buyout Means for Penn State & College Football

Penn State fired James Franklin over the weekend, granting him the second largest buyout in college football history at nearly $50M. Former Penn State tight end and college football analyst Adam Breneman joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington with his reaction to the news about his former coach, and why this made sense despite Franklin’s success. Meanwhile, FOS newsletter writer David Rumsey explains why buyouts are becoming more common in college football.

Plus, the Las Vegas Aces are champions once again, but the conversation around the WNBA quickly shifts to collective bargaining talks, says FOS women’s sports reporter Annie Costabile. She joins with exclusive reporting around the details of the latest proposal, which the WNBA calls “very compelling.”

Also, Mark Sanchez speaks, the NBA takes a big step towards games in China, and Tiger Woods is getting another surgery.

A new weeknight TV show breaking down the business and culture of sports, premiering September 14th.
