Dr scott Lynch files lawsuit against PSU, Barbour, and Franklin
- Thread starter Grant Green
- Start date
Truer word have never been spoken.....PSU's biggest enemies have been alumni........Surma, Lubert, Joyner, Frazier, Lynch etc.
Wouldn’t surprise me if one or more of these guys are behind Lynch. Gives them reason to fire CJF in an effort to destroy football once and for all.
This suit reminds me of Bob Shoop's?
I know, right? Usually someone files suit before their contract status changes...
Well the James Franklin recruiting train just ran right over the Dr. Lynch bump on the rails. Next asshole?
So no one amongst Penn State, Sandy, or Franklin have issued a statement? You’d think they’d want to get in front the story rather than allow the media to create the narrative uncontested.
CJF is working on the depth chart.
There ARE priorities!!!!!
It's tiring to have to deal with this crap all the time.
Was just thinking the same thing. It really is getting very old.
YEP!
Why can’t we be like the other 129 FBS teams, and just watch our team play!

Things from the past and related to step.'s response to something i posted earlier.
And they are spending the money!!!! Which is great for local businesses!!!!!
I see reference to Kalenick and some misanthrope who offered condolences. Can you give me a clue?
No, I don't know him. But launching this lawsuit isn't a casual thing. I see two possibilities: the aforementioned bruised ego or something pretty bad going on. There are no hints of the latter. I'm not seeing any other possibilities right now, but time will tell.
Just relax. It’s a 1 day news cycle story. Give me some f’g names. There aren’t any. Franklin has been very, very conservative with injuries.
Notice the outer protective helmets our players wear over their normal helmets at practice? Those cost a pretty penny. Sensors all over them that feed data to a computer to calculate how many blows and at what force they were to monitor all our players for brain health. Who else is wearing those?

CJF and Lynch. Both men of good moral fiber from what I can tell. Let’s see how this plays out. No reason to smear either guy.
You might want to tell Lynch not to smear Franklin because that's what he's doing.
Oklahoma used to use a lower tech solution 20 years ago. The had these wraps that went over the helmets. When I introduced the board to CTE I did this was a big miss by organized football. Here we are decades later....
Lets just say its long convoluted, murky and confusing.
Funerals weddings and more. I'm sorry but I cannot.
Option three, he's out to save the world by reforming student athlete care. He took a list of recommendations to his exit interview. Among them, "under no circumstances should the coach be calling the physician to discuss medical care." Banning coaches from the training room and creating a physician position within the Integrity Office to be in charge of medical policies. Then there's this gem, "coaches will not discuss injuries with players, either positively or negatively."
After the Piazzas held the university hostage to reform Greek life, here's your guy to reform collegiate sports medicine.

Just so that we are square understand that the lawsuit says that Coach Franklin interfered with the proper administration of medical care and everyone else named covered it up. I'm sure there's a lot of middle ground that I'm missing.
It's as if he became some medical extremist, and Franklin's simple inquiries were major points of contention with Lynch. He reported it to anyone he could, but all of them knew there was no issue. It got to the point that everyone wanted a change.
I'm sure that Coach Franklin and everyone else feels the same way, like having one's name dragged into the mud is just another day at the office.
Adam sheds some light and talks about the lawsuit on his podcast from today. Fast forward to the 12:00 minute mark to hear his thoughts on this particular topic.
Why bring it up then? We've seen enough here of the "I know something you don't, but can't say" to last us a lifetime.

Bruised ego gets my vote. Most all of us on this board are here because PSU football is important to us and we follow the games and players and coaches, and have a helluva lot of mixed discussions. Other than a couple observations of maybe Trace should have been pulled from that game, at least for a rest, I can't think of any other examples. I've watched every game since Franklin's been the coach at least twice, and expect most here have. Anyone else here think of anyone you felt should have been pulled?
