Penn State football coach James Franklin said Wednesday that he doesn't foresee every college football team beginning their seasons concurrently.
"I can't imagine that right now we're all going to open at the same time," he told ESPN's Heather Dinich. "If the SEC, for example, opens up a month earlier than the Big Ten, and the Big Ten is able to open up and 12 of the 14 schools, if two schools can't open, I don't see a conference—any conference—penalizing 80% or 75% of the schools because 25% of them can't open."
Franklin added that he believes holding the entire conference back when "two or three schools" have the ability to open limits an entire conference.
