gonna take the doctors word for it, pending confirmation that he has a Hot Wife
August 26th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
First off, I can't neg the OP enough for the shitty body of his OP. Informative title, but nothing except a link is lazy. Bambi, you've crapped on people for doing the same thing...
As for the story, the good doctor says he complained to a bunch of people about nothing in particular, and now says they fired him because of it. No proof (that we know of); no specific accusations; no documentation; no timelines.
Yet, in spite of all that, I believe him. With the Paterno guy back in charge, it just smells like dung.
August 26th, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
Hope he has documentation like text messages or even recordings to back up his claims. Or maybe a corroborating witness. Otherwise, we know Penn State people will just deny everything.

If raping little boys did nothing to Pedo State, I doubt this will be nothing more than a blip on the radar of 24 hour news cycles.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems odd that there are no specific incidents cited. Does anyone know if that is normal for HIPAA reasons?
August 26th, 2019 at 1:53 PM ^
I would say there is more to come.
HIPAA is for protecting the privacy of patients. This is an employment law case. Certain patient's records may come out in further case-related actions as evidence (and such records will have to be handled in compliance with the regulations) but this remains an employment law case. Here's the tl;dr.
1. Pedo State let Dr. Lynch go because they stated they wanted someone based out of State College and Lynch was in Hershey. That could hurt Pedo State's defense because at contract formation time, this was not a documented concern.
2. In the employment contract attached to the filing, there isn't anything thing mentioned about residency.
3. Dr Lynch is filing the suit for violation of whistleblower protections. Lynch went to Black about Franklin's interference, Black let Lynch go.

Just want to point out that Hershey is Pedo St’s Medical School. Lol.
August 26th, 2019 at 5:54 PM ^
The holes in Pedo State's excuse are indeed weak.
August 26th, 2019 at 1:34 PM ^
Somebody cue the East German Judge.
August 26th, 2019 at 1:48 PM ^
I mean, I guess that's progress for PSU scandals?

James Franklin would like to sell you some fiberglass windows except somehow he's the head coach of a major college football team.
Doc, his bones are stronger than vinyl. Is the lady of the house home?
August 26th, 2019 at 2:13 PM ^
Say it ain't so Frames...we don't ever want you to lose your job.
August 26th, 2019 at 2:19 PM ^
"At least it's not child rape," countered Franklin.
That does it, I'm getting a refund for my audio-book collection, The Penn State Guide to Ethical Football Coaching.
August 26th, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
You know what?
Penn State should be kicked out of the Big 10.
They're welcome to take Rutgers with them and then form a new conference of their own call the Big Least.
August 26th, 2019 at 2:59 PM ^
That's not as bad as when Franklin cornered an alleged rape victim at Vandy and tried to bribe her with a job but might be worse than when he said he only hires assistants with hot wives
August 26th, 2019 at 3:52 PM ^
Wow, this is a really bad look for Franklin.
August 26th, 2019 at 5:02 PM ^
James Franklin is a POS...no way?
August 27th, 2019 at 1:47 AM ^
This Dr. Lynch is a former NCAA wrestling champion (1984) for Penn State. He is probably not bringing this lawsuit out of any unfounded animosity for Penn State. He is by all accounts a very well respected orthopedic surgeon. This does not look good for Franklin at all.
