- Why is Penn State football missing out on recruits in the class of 2025? A lot of the issues stem from a lackluster NIL initiative. Locked On Nittany Lions host Zach Seyko and Penn State Rivals publisher Richie O'Leary debate where Penn State's greatest problems lie with NIL and how they can improve them. Find out the biggest challenges that James Franklin and the Nittany Lions face and how they can overcome them. Should Penn State take a page out of Rutgers' recruiting playbook? Doubling as the Rutgers Rivals publisher, Richie helps put into perspective why Greg Schiano has been so successful with recruiting in the class of 2025.

How about eliminting a few of the 39 restrooms from the "new" old stadium and getting some players!
NIL is out of control period!
I agree, this transfer portal and NIL bullshit is ruining college football as we know it!!! Now, recruiting is actually taking a back seat to NIL, it's free agency in college football, ridiculous 🙄!!!! WE ARE
Rich hit the nail on the head with NIL and donor support. Honor JoePa and the older generation of wealth will open their pocketbooks. Those in charge need to get over their hesitation.
Joe was fully aware that Sandusky was an issue and part of the cover up.
IF that is why donors are holding back, that's a statement about their character. No one with the program today had ANYTHING to do with the past so harming them is simply self serving. Furthermore, anyone who just blindly states that PSU should "honor JoPa" is delusional about ALL of the ramifications of doing it. It will affect everything from recruiting (yes, programs will use that against us with recruits - I would if I was another program) to public perception. Public perception matters in today's environment for many reasons. I'm not saying NOT honor JoPa, but withholding donations over that is simply vindictive against people who are innocent.
@@ryansheard8092 these people are under NO OBLIGATION to give money to PSU, so they are not hurting anyone. Additionally, it sounds like you blame Paterno when JoePa did not do anything wrong, in fact he followed the law as was later stated by DA office and reported everything.. You are holding PSU to the false narrative that JoePa is the criminal, when in fact it was someone else.
@@ryansheard8092and you’ll realize both coaches are dog 💩
@ryansheard8092 JoePa had nothing to do with the sick stuff that happened. I'm sure every family has it's secrets and kept them in house. How Penn State did Paterno was weak and people won't forget that. Exactly Why Larry Johnson went to Ohio State he was there when all that happened you gonna blame him too? Joe Paterno is Penn State weather you want to accept it or not. We Are because He Is...
What a sad state all of college football is in. When will high schools need to start paying NIL? The NCAA has totally messed things up. Now things are totally out of control with no guidelines at all. Very sad.
I believe Florida just made it to where high school athletes can receive NIL fairly recently
I agree totally, the NCAA jumped in feet first, instead of doing a stipend, which they divide the money 💰 up on a level where better players get more and such!!! Also, transfer portal should be only one time if at all in my opinion!!! The money 💰 should be split from shared revenue with the conference, then even playing field and recruiting still would mean a lot more!!! WE ARE
@@kevinchandler179nobody ever has anything to say when the networks get greedy and ruin the sport. And my god do they get incomprehensibly greedy. But lord forbid the players be paid in accordance with their skill 💀
Nil maybe an issue to a certain extent. But i think its more about how Franklin is using it. He is using it to keep the kids that are already on campus not to bring a kid to campus and i agree with the way coach is using it. I believe no matter how much money was in NIL i think Franklin would use it the same way. And if a kids first question is about how much they can get then that kid out the door
Exactly, I agree with you. Franklin is using it correctly. And then you have guys like Steve Sarkisian who will publicly say “NIL should be the last reason you commit somewhere” but then clearly give kids HUGE bags to commit.
Strange that Penn State wrestling doesn't have any problem.
Players that think money is everything, do everything for money.
Its called Cael Sanderson. My guess is that Cael doesnt associate with most staff/so called leadership within the university.
This was a good listen, great points made all the way around. I used to love following recruiting but because of NIL and how its affected PSU i have basically 0 interest because i know we have basically no shot with any elite prospects.
Are we not going to talk about Alvin Henderson being crystal balled to flip to Auburn?
Flip confirmed
Franklin is the reason for any NIL deficiency. His record in close games has boosters losing interest. His recruiting is the same now as it was before the NIL existed. Franklin is the common denominator
But the stadium is going to be nice
How about Sheetz??? Based close by in Altoona, made 14 billion dollars last year....seems like a no brainer to me
Just because you throw money at kids to come to your school doesn't make you a championship team. Look at Texas AM they bought the best recruiting class in history a few years ago and struggled to win 7 games.
That's true. But for the most part the school's recruiting well right now in the portal and with freshman have top flight nil. It's a different world from even a few year's ago.
In the years immediately preceding NIL, I recall a lot of pundits and commenters making the simple statement that "the players deserve to get paid a little bit for their names, images, and likeness." Fair enough, they do a lot of work and rewarding that work seemed like the right thing to do. But just as in life, when you pray for rain, you should also prepare to deal with the mud. We are left with what amounts to free agency, and we know that the usual college football suspects will always find a way to buy championships. The choices for fans are to either pony up or accept mediocrity.
I wonder how many former player making big bucks in the NFL donate to their schools NIL?
Exactly especially when they didn’t get paid to play college ball as a student not an employee.
Yuengling definitely should get their name on something!
I think we have hit a weird spot in the James Franklin era. Imo he hasn’t elevated them near enough. He’s a good recruiter but even that which I considered his fall back is wavering. He hasn’t elevated the program to where they want to be and I think we’ve kind of seen what we are going to get. He can’t elevate the program to be like other schools and he doesn’t cultivate talent at certain positions well. My main concern is QB. He gets talent and for whatever reason no Penn State QBs are drafted high.
I'm surprised Brandon Short and the Penn State Board aren't using their business contacts to generate more business mergers with business that can assist in the NIL money.
Pennsylvania fans cry broke. Don't worry I'm a die hard Penn State fan from New York I can help. Ask around 😂😂
Problem is to look at all programs to get closer to break even status rather than relying solely on football, men’s basketball and ice hockey to carry the load for everyone. Maybe that will help NIL for all sports. Football fans pay for most everything and now they want to press them for NIL. Talk about killing the golden goose
We fund too many sports. We just have to adjust.
Bottomline is this..if you want to compete with OSU/Mich/Oregon...you better spend 50mil on NIL like those teams do...maybe not spend 700 mil on a stadium that couldve been renovated for half that price. Instead it will end up being another Franklin excuse of why his football team cant compete with the big boy programs.
Sorry, but the value signaling in this age doesn't work with top talent.
Id challenge anyone who says its wrong that if you were put in these kids shoes youd do any different. 95% dont want to hear it unless they are Arch Manning coming from money.
Bottom line is Franklin doesn't want to do anything "unethical"
Recruiting HS players won't work in this day and age. Compared to Georgia, Texas, Oregon and Ohio State etc PSU doesn't develop players enough.
There isn't enough depth and competition to do so. Especially if the program is bringing in HS players.
How about kids play with heart and love instead of money. This is BS they are teenagers who have no idea about money. You are a student not an employee. PERIOD
The biggest problem is your coach. Having JF around guarantees no better than 4th place in the conference, he will never be elite
Did y’all donate? Didn’t think so it’s not our position to pay for a teenager who never played a snap in the Big Ten. Maybe alumni donations would help like a Mr Parsons or Barkley tell them to give up a few million of their earnings when they didn’t get paid to play at PSU. Like I said before it’s BS !! No high school child should receive 6 7 figures to play a game they supposedly love no matter what.
Coach James Franklin has had to put up with the cheap unsupportive fans for far too long. Dont support NIL for Coach. Support NIL to build trust with the players. Give and you shall receive
This cheap unsupportive fan would just love to see James take his 6-20 record vs top 10 teams/like 4-18 vs OSU/Michigan elsewhere to begin a new slate somewhere else.
@@johnhaversack1634 after they make the playoffs this year the money will pour in anyways
There is no reason why Penn State should have an NIL problem.
As bad as your nil might be I'm a USC and right now the Nil has completely fallen apart. A super wealthy school isn't delivering on promises made. That's why the decommits and canceled visits. A disaster. Yours can't be worse
Spin the wheel.. unfortunately, it doesn't have a slice that represents the real issue
If we have an NIL problem, why didn't some of the 700 million $ expenditure go towards that? This isn't Field of Dreams. Franklin should do what Saban did and come out his own pockets. We all know Franklin's bag is big enough
🤦♂️...do you understand how funding infrastructure works? There is currently no $700M. That revenue will be generated year in and out to pay the loan by the project generating it once completed. This is how MOST infrastructure projects across the world are funded.
@ryansheard8092 so you mean to tell me we make over 20 million per home game and have no money in our savings account? If we're broke we should be living within our means, not borrowing 700 million. The infrastructure is already there in case you haven't noticed. Let the water drip in the playoffs, pipes won't freeze and will be fine...you obviously don't understand how infrastructure works
Very informative session today. Keep trending this way!
..lets see 8-10 mil a year....PSU just paid 5.5m suit which the dear coach was implicated in.
They have a Franklin problem. Drew...ruuun away, he's going to hurt you.
With PSU history this comment doesn't look great 🤣🤣
@@ernestvaughan5208 ... Franklin bloooowwws.
Drew came here..like many before him..the number 1 recruit at his position...will leave lucky to be drafted before round 3/4 in the draft.
@@johnhaversack1634 ...I guess we'll see. You think Franklin is a good coach, seriously?
@@GeorgeR-qj4hk recruits well..but on game day he sucks
Franklin is the issue
College sports needs to be shutdown for a few years and rebuilt around student first sports second model. All perspective athletes must meet same academic standards before any scholarships offered. Set up a standard percentage of TV revenue sharing that is set in a trust once they graduate or move to the pros. No NIL collective, No agents etc. Also a one time transfer under portal. Quit bitching about NCAA rules
Nice ideas..but too late. Its broke for good.
