A Penn State Altoona Engineering student was arrested last night on multiple charges for possessing a weapon of mass destruction. The Altoona police arrested 19-year-old Vladislav Miftakhov after they found a suspected bomb and materials to build a bomb inside a suitcase at his residence in Altoona. Miftakhov admitted to buying the materials over the internet over the last several weeks, and the bomb squad was called in to deconstruct the apparatus.
After much speculation, a university spokesperson confirmed late Friday night exactly how much Penn State paid to Vanderbilt to obtain the services of head coach James Franklin.
James Franklin opened his Friday afternoon press conference gushing about the staff that he had put together, largely made up of Vanderbilt coaches that stayed loyal to their charismatic leader. It quickly became clear that this group of coaches are a lot more than just colleagues.
Penn State defeated Illinois wrestling 31-3 on Friday night in Rec Hall. Nico Megaludis defeated rival Jesse Delgado 5-4.
It was all but inevitable, but they had the meeting nonetheless. The 13-member Student Activity Fee Board unanimously approved the biggest fee increase since 2010 this afternoon, hiking up the mandatory Student Activity Fee at University Park from $87 to $93.
After two weeks of work, James Franklin has finally assembled his entire coaching staff for the 2014 season. Franklin waited until the staff was complete before presenting the group to the public, holding a press conference on Friday afternoon and allowing each and every one of his coaches to address the media. The tight-knit group is largely made up of Vanderbilt coaches that made the move to State College along with Franklin.
