Penn State’s James Franklin says his family will be in Florida during football season because of coronavirus risk

Penn State coach James Franklin is planning to spend the 2020 football season away from his family. Franklin told Bryant Gumbel in an episode of HBO’s “Real Sports” Tuesday night that his family is going to stay in Florida during the season while Franklin is coaching in State College. The decision, he said, was made because his daughter has sickle cell disease and Franklin doesn’t want to risk her getting infected with coronavirus.
