Some employees at Penn State believe the university has shown its true colors by paying James Franklin $49 million not to coach the football team.

Penn State fired Franklin on Sunday following three straight losses — and 12 years in Happy Valley — putting them on the hook for more than $49 million owed to the coach.

”It’s a slap in the face to everyone who was told that their campus is too expensive and not good enough to keep open,” Penn State Fayette librarian Heather Page told according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette . . “They want to pay this man. They [don’t] want to pay for the campuses. It’s how they show their values.”

Page added that Sunday’s news proves school leaders will “find a way to pay for whatever they want to pay for.” 4
