Ohio State, rest of this season, could decide Franklin’s fate

In the old game of “Scruples,” you had three answer choices — yes, no and depends. For this question about James Franklin, I’m going to say depends. It’s no secret that he’s lost the fan base and that a parting of the ways could well be looming. And based on his contract, his ...
