Penn State Fans Keep #SetTheStandard Tradition Alive Post-Franklin

The start of the fall semester at Penn State marks the continuation of the #SetTheStandard tradition, which originated under former football head coach James Franklin.

This tradition involves freshmen sharing photos of themselves arriving early to classes and sitting in the front row, reflecting Franklin's emphasis on academic success.

Even after Franklin's exit, fans have creatively maintained the tradition, posting humorous takes on their first-day experiences, including late arrivals and unconventional classroom settings.
