In a profanity-laced tirade, a leaked audio broadcast captures Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft taking shots at James Franklin, Michigan. Ohio State and the Oregon Ducks as he meets Nittany Lion players in a closed-door meeting just prior to the Rutgers game.
The audio, widely disseminated by now, starting with podcaster Kris Drew, host of "Signal On" on X and YouTube, captures Kraft ripping Oregon with some nasty, ego-boosting asides. He questions Dante Moore's poise, saying he was "(Expletive) shaking" during the Ducks' overtime win in Happy Valley, which wrecked the PSU program by leading to Franklin's firing and Kraft's bumbling coaching search.
