2 Former players defend Penn State football coach James Franklin

We’re only halfway through the week, and it has been quite an eventful one already. Not only is the Penn State football program preparing for the first week of the season — but they are also preparing to deal with a lawsuit involving a former team physician.

By now, you’ve probably heard the news. Dr. Scott Lynch, who used to be the Nittany Lions’ orthopedic surgeon, and director of athletic medicine is filing a claim against the Penn State program after they terminated his spot within the department.

While Lynch remained employed by Penn State, the doctor still wasn’t all that hesitant to seek $50,000 in damages from the program.
