In the ongoing trial of the fired Penn State football doctor, Dr. Scott Lynch, the contract between Penn State Athletics and Penn State Health has come into question. Lynch's attorney, Steven F. Marino, extensively questioned Richard Kaluza, Penn State's senior associate athletic director for finance and business operations, about the medical services contract.

The 2016 version of the deal, which was negotiated around the time Lynch was promoted to his position as Penn State's director of athletic medicine and the football team's orthopedic consultant, involved an average payment of around $900,000 per year to Penn State Health. This multi-year contract was later extended and increased.

Marino focused on the lack of a stipulation in the contract regarding the location of the football team doctor. The contract did not specify that the doctor should live in State College, causing the approximately two-hour commute between Penn State and Hershey, where Lynch was based, to become a point of contention.

Furthermore, it was revealed that Lynch, as an orthopedic surgeon, did not have privileges at Mount Nittany Medical Center, the local hospital. As a result, Lynch could only serve as an assistant surgeon when performing operations on injured players. This posed additional challenges for Lynch and his patients.

Despite attempts to downplay the issue, concerns were raised about the safety and comfort of athletes having to travel from State College to Hershey for surgeries. Renee Messina, assistant athletic director for training services at Penn State, acknowledged complaints from athletic trainers responsible for driving the players, particularly during inclement weather conditions.

Dr. Pete Seidenberg, who previously served as a primary care team physician during Coach James Franklin's early years, testified that Lynch's alleged demotion was not due to where he lived, but rather because he stood up for the well-being of the athletes against the coach's desires.

Seidenberg's emotional testimony underscored his close relationship with Lynch, as they often shared meals and socialized as couples together with their wives. Seidenberg even stayed with the Lynches while in town to testify.

Lynch's lawsuit alleges that he was terminated for refusing to let Coach Franklin interfere with his medical treatment and return-to-play decisions. Lynch claims to have reported Franklin's alleged interference to Penn State Athletics and Penn State Health.

Meanwhile, the defense maintains that there is no evidence suggesting Lynch altered his medical treatment of players under pressure from Franklin or anyone else. Messina testified that she never witnessed Franklin pressuring the medical or training teams or heard complaints from the athletic trainers regarding such interference.

The trial continues to shed light on the complexities surrounding Lynch's termination and the dynamics within Penn State Athletics. Franklin and Penn State Athletics have been dropped from the lawsuit due to a filing technicality.

As the trial goes into "overtime," it remains to be seen how the testimonies and evidence presented will impact the outcome of Lynch's case and whether he will be awarded compensatory and punitive damages.
