James Franklin and his fellow Big Ten coaches aren't just getting national exposure at the Big Ten Media Days, which begin today -- Franklin will be given ESPN's "car wash" treatment on Wednesday, meaning he'll be featured on several of the network's shows throughout the day.

The Philadelphia Union and the Mack Brady Soccer Fund--started last January by Honors College Dean Christian Brady after the death of his eight year old son Mack-- will team up on August 8th to host a charity dinner to benefit the fund. PPL Park, the Union's stadium, will host the event, which will include appearances from six Penn State head coaches, as well as Union goalie Zac MacMath and other members of the Union. The dinner also features a silent auction, with signed memorabilia from all of Penn State's sports teams as well as some autographed memorabilia from Philadelphia sports teams.

Former defensive tackle standout revealed his daughter, Leah, has pediatric cancer in June, and the Penn State family was quick to offer him support. Now, the Cincinnati Bengals have joined the fight.
