Penn State football coach James Franklin told a player not to talk to police following a fight with a star linebacker in a 2018 incident that involved punching, choking and a knife being pulled, according to allegations contained in a university report obtained by ESPN.

The accusation by now-former Nittany Lions defensive back Isaiah Humphries is contained in a draft report that was part of a 2019 Title IX inquiry into sexual assault allegations in the Penn State locker room. The document sheds new light on the allegations that became public when Humphries sued the school early this year. The report, which does not include conclusions by investigators, contains interviews with dozens of football players, coaches and staff.

Humphries told investigators that, after his fight with linebacker Micah Parsons in March 2018, he met with Franklin in the coach's car outside the Lasch football building, according to the report. The investigator wrote: "Mr. Humphries added that Coach Franklin came and said, 'Don't talk to the police because Micah is his start [sic] player and makes money, so if he gets in trouble, he's gone,' meaning Mr. Humphries would be gone."

I'm not convinced they didn't encourage Parsons to stay opted out. Obviously he was the backbone of the defense, but that's a couple bad looks involving him, and they may be hoping to dodge some of it with him gone. But once it directly involves Franklin, that could get dicey.

 
Jeezus f##king christ, Penn State. Out of any school in the country, you should permanently be on high alert for anything relating to compliance/Title IX/mandatory reporting and/or any sort of misconduct, especially within the football program.  If there is any shred of truth to this story, those motherf##kers need the harshest of penalties.
