I'm definitely biased, but stuff like that tweet comes off more pretentious, phony and full of douche than a guy genuinely interested in a kid's study habits.

I find social media in general incredibly obnoxious because of things like this.

You discover a player didn't study; you pull him aside and you discuss the issue with him. The fact that Franklin chose to handle it on social media automatically makes it bullshit grandstanding from the get go.

That said, he absolutely understands Penn State culture, where bullshit public grandstanding is more important than actually handling situations like an adult and not a social media crazed tween.

It's JoePa manipulation for the 21st century.

Now that there's a guilty verdict in a couple of his former player's case, a little reminder:

The allegations were made in a court filing by the defense in the rape case and reported Tuesday by The Tennessean.

According to The Tennessean:

The filing also includes a new allegation about interactions between the alleged victim and former head football coach James Franklin and former director of performance enhancement Dwight Galt — both now at Penn State University.

Referring to records, the attorneys said the victim was contacted by Franklin and Galt during a medical examination four days after the rape to explain "that they cared about her because she assisted them with recruiting."

It went on to say that at some point, "Coach Franklin called her in for a private meeting and told her he wanted her to get fifteen pretty girls together and form a team to assist with the recruiting even though he knew it was against the rules. He added that all the other colleges did it."

Class act all the way, James.
