Former Penn State team doctor Dr. Scott A. Lynch has filed a lawsuit against the university and head football coach James Franklin after claiming he was pressured to clear injured football players to return to games, according to Matt Miller of Penn Live.
Franklin reportedly "repeatedly tried to influence his decisions regarding whether hurt players were fit to play."
Lynch believes his complaints about the coach led to his removal as Orthopedic Physician for the football team and Director of Athletic Medicine for the university, and he is suing the school for more than $50,000 in damages.
