As of February 13, 2025, there are no reports indicating that Penn State Head Coach James Franklin has been suspended from all sports activities.

In May 2024, speculation arose regarding a potential suspension following a $5.25 million verdict in favor of former Penn State doctor Dr. Scott Lynch, who alleged interference in medical decisions by Franklin. However, no official suspension has been announced.

In January 2020, former player Isaiah Humphries filed a federal lawsuit against Franklin and several players, alleging hazing and retaliation. The university conducted investigations, and the District Attorney decided not to pursue charges.

In October 2024, Franklin faced controversy over his handling of the dismissal of players charged with rape. He later offered an apology for his response to the situation.

Despite these incidents, there is no current information confirming that Coach Franklin has been suspended from all sports activities.
