Penn State football coach James Franklin has received his long-rumored extension.
On Friday, it was reported that the Nittany Lions leading man has agreed to a six-year contract extension with the university. The news comes after Penn State’s compensation committee met earlier in the day.
The six-year extension will pay Franklin just shy of $6 million a year.
