Fired midseason by Penn State, Franklin also is owed $9 million from the Nittany Lions for the negotiated settlement terms. His Tech salary, of more than $8 million annually plus incentives that could push the annual value into the $9 million range, per sources, essentially matches the overall terms of his former deal at Penn State.

Franklin had mitigation and offset terms in his Penn State deal, but as one source with direct knowledge said, "He isn't getting a penny less" than he would have made from the Nittany Lions.
