This is odd. Is it a revenue thing for Penn State? That's the only explanation I can think of.

Maybe they don't really like how things are going with him and want it to be easier for the NFL to pluck him up? Only reason I can think of...

60 million can take a bite out of anyone's budget. Maybe there are some legal issues involved that they don't want to litigate right now?

If Penn State gets out of his way. Franklin's hardcore. It's gonna be his way, and it's gonna be a full throttle. Penn State has to be cool being the Big Ten program that ruffles some feathers. Because Franklin's not gonna go kiss Hoke and Urban's ring.
