Several Penn State representatives will be in Las Vegas this week for Big Ten Media Days.

James Franklin will talk Wednesday at 3:45 ET.

If we were there in person, what would we ask him?

NSN’s Joe Smeltzer and Kyle Golik, along with producer Jay Holahan of Mike Farrell Sports, give there answers to this and also talk about Penn State volleyball coach Katie Schumacher Cawley’s ESPY speech.

Then, of course, there’s the box of mystery.
