Here is the video of his appearance. (Check around 11:25)
I don't blame you for trusting your link, but she totally botched his comment. He was saying that Vanderbilt had high academic standards and that was a challenge in football culture of the SEC. Feel free to disagree with that, but he definitely wasn't saying that Vandy was a football factory and it's great to be at a place like Penn State where there's an emphasis on academics.

Sounds pretty much exactly what I was saying in my post above:
quote:
I doubt he honestly feels that way -- since it's a breathtakingly stupid thing to say given the schools he's comparing -- and I bet he's probably speaking more about the differences between the SEC and Big Ten than the actual schools themselves and just worded it extremely poorly.
If not, he's the dumbest motherfricker who ever lived.

TigerattheU, thank you for posting this
At best, this is incompetent reporting. I see that the comments on the article at the link rightfully hammer the reporter. Franklin said nothing that disparaged Vandy.
