LOL. PSU's Franklin per Philly Enquirer. Saw headline in airport; didn't have time to read article.

But a two-paragraph section of the report under the subhead "Football" was less complimentary.

"There is evidence of increased tension, and a mutual lack of trust, between the head football coach and University athletics compliance staff," the report reads.

Scheeler wrote in the report that athletic director Sandy Barbour, football coach James Franklin, director of ethics and compliance Regis Becker, athletics integrity officer Julie Del Giorno, and others in the compliance staff acknowledged the issue.

"Some level of tension is natural," Barbour said Tuesday in a phone interview. "They are highly competitive people."

Thanks for the link. The print version headline I saw was much different (and rather uncomplimentary) than the website headline.

This does make me wonder about the academic advisor(s) who ratted out Flood. What happens to them? Rutgers would be loathe to fire them, due to laws protecting whistleblowers, yet I don't see how Flood ever has trust or a working relationship with them any more. Even more reason why Flood should have been fired.

Not sure I agree. HCKF is an honorable man. I bet he learns from what happened and develops a better working relationship with the academic staff

Can we stop with the honorable man defense?

Anyone that read the report and believes he did not know he was breaking rules is either extremely gullible or delusional (best case - maybe trying to blindly support the program).

Sadly, that was his main quality and its destroyed.

The Head Coach should not be learning on the job. Flood needs to go. He was portrayed as a man of integrity and his actions demonstrated it was a myth.

How did this turn into another fire flood thread? Jesus guys. Give it a rest at some point. Posting on a message board does nothing. And for the record, I really don't mind if he goes.... It's just the constant same threads about it....

There's supposed to be a lack of trust with compliance. That's the whole point of having a compliance director.

If he wants a friend, he should get a dog.
