INDIANAPOLIS — Penn State has become ground zero as another hot-button topic takes center stage in college football, that of players organizing and looking for revenue sharing in the Big Ten and the other biggest-money college leagues.
The head of a group called the College Football Players Association said he met this month with as many as 100 Penn State players, looking to have them be the centerpiece of a group trying to further shake up the structure of the Power 5 college sports leagues.
CFBPA founder Jason Stahl said discussions this month with Penn State players began through a connection made with Nittany Lions quarterback Sean Clifford, but Stahl said Clifford has since “flipped” after Penn State and Big Ten officials became aware of CFBPA discussions with the players.
