Penn State Loses One Sponsor, Others Could Follow



State Farm is pulling its ads from Penn State football broadcasts, while General Motors is reconsidering its sponsorship deal as well.
 
The Bloomington, Illinois-based State Farm said it had been reviewing its connection to Penn State since the arrest of retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky last November. The insurance company said it will pull ads from broadcasts of Nittany Lion home games but may continue to advertise during Penn State's away games.
 
A spokesperson says the company decided its best not to support Penn State Football during the upcoming season. A General Motors representative would only say his company’s sponsorship of the program was also being reconsidered.
