Head coach of Penn State James took the podium at BIG Ten media days. He talked about the national media's high set expectations of Penn State.

Penn State head football coach James Franklin wasn’t thrilled about the fact that the Big Ten Football Media Days were held in Las Vegas and he let the media know about it. Franklin talked about the fact that the conference should have the media days in “Big 10 country” rather than an outpost like Las Vegas.

"We want people to shut up? We can shut them up real easy," James Franklin says of the 2025 Penn State Nittany Lions.
