  Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford has been creating headlines of late after his discussions with College Football Players Association executive director Jason Stahl became public knowledge and stirred up questions about potential for the team to unionize. Clifford and about 100 Nittany Lions were reportedly in an extended meeting with Stahl before a member of the Penn State staff entered the room with less than five minutes to go in Stahl's presentation, he told CBS Sports. However, the notion of potential unionization was put to bed by Clifford with a statement on Friday after the news became public and then by head coach James Franklin and athletic director Pat Kraft Wednesday afternoon at Big Ten Media Days.

On Wednesday, the team's starting quarterback made frequent reference to his statement and passed on expanding further on his hopes for what will happen next. "We are five days away from camp and that's the main thing right now," Clifford said. "Just to address what happened, do I want to make change for college athletics and college athletes across the country? Absolutely. That's one of the things that I set out to do this offseason, and I still believe that. I'm very blessed to be in this situation. To have a commissioner that's open to conversations, a head coach that's open to conversations and a new athletic director that's open to conversations. It's a blessing, 100%...Definitely excited about the future, but here in the present." Clifford's statement on Friday said he met with Franklin, Kraft and Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren to discuss the changing landscape of college athletics and how it will impact athletes. He added, however, that he was not doing so on behalf of a union. - Centre Times
