Jim Knowles to Tennessee? Penn State’s final buyout number for DC amid new job update

Published by Parlour News

As the deal is finalized, it was revealed that the Nittany Lions will owe Knowles over $7 million for the two years left on his contract. For Knowles, this will be his third different job in as many seasons. His brief stint at Penn State came after he helped guide Ohio State’s 2024 national title run, a performance that made him the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football when he arrived in State College. But the 2025 campaign quickly unraveled for a team that opened the year ranked No. 2 in the AP poll. Penn State stormed out to a 3-0 start before collapsing with six consecutive losses, a skid that included a 38-14 defeat to Ohio State and a stunning loss to Northwestern that led to the firing of longtime head coach James Franklin. The Nittany Lions rallied late with three straight wins to reach the Pinstripe Bowl, but their defense struggled throughout the year. They surrendered 21.4 points per game, gave up 5.3 yards per play, and allowed 30 or more points four …

Under Tennessee bill, students would be taught marriage before kids one key to success | Education

Published by Parlour News

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s public schools could soon be required to teach that the keys to a successful life include following a proper sequence of events: high school, job or higher education, marriage and then children. Under Tennessee bill, students would be taught marriage before kids one key to success It’s a proposal advancing inside the state’s Republican-dominant Legislature and similar to others moving in several states this year. In Tennessee, the Senate passed the legislation 25-5 on Thursday. It has several steps remaining in the House. “Some children are not privileged to recognize that or live within that,” said the bill’s sponsor, Republican Sen. Janice Bowling of Tullahoma. “And so in these classes, these children will be given this key to success.” Republican proponents argued the so-called success sequence could help lift people out of poverty by delaying life events, such as getting married before having children. Democratic opponents raised concerns that the instruction could indoctrinate students about matters that should be personal choices while making students who have a single parent feel bad …

Trump administration withdraws support for transgender minors in Tennessee case at the Supreme Court | News Today News

Published by Parlour News

The federal government no longer backs transgender minors and their families in Tennessee who are challenging a state ban on gender-affirming care, the Trump administration told the Supreme Court Friday. The court’s conservatives, at arguments in December, had already seemed likely to uphold the state ban on puberty blockers and hormone treatments. The formal notification of the change is the latest in a flurry of actions by the new administration regarding transgender people. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in his second week in office halting federal support for gender-affirming health care for transgender people under age 19. The Tennessee law known as SB1 is similar to measures in about half the states that prohibit gender-affirming care for minors. Story continues below this ad The Biden administration had intervened in the Tennessee case, arguing that the restrictions amount to unconstitutional sex discrimination and warning that the court’s decision in favor of the state could lead to restrictions on transgender adults. “The Department has now determined that SB1 does not deny equal protection on account …
