Usually when this happens, others follow. It will be interesting to see if they do this time.

I wonder whether Nike will want their swoosh to continue appearing on Penn State jerseys?

Just look at all the advertisers that continued to sponsor Michael Jackson. If Penn State loses some, others will fill in.

The football program will recover, but the school has to clean house first.

The sad truth is that JoePa was simply there for too long. Such people become excessively ingrained in a certain milieu, the sort of situation that often results in an ugly forced removal. If you don't leave on your own terms, you're going to leave on someone else's terms.

This right here is the problem with media these days. There becomes this sort of snowball effect that starts with one man's transgressions and grows and grows and grows until sponsors start pulling their ads and money out of a university. The people who were to blame have been (or are being) removed from Penn State University. Good. But if you're still angry, don't let America's new-found mob mentality talk you into punishing the students, faculty and staff of an otherwise fine institution. Stand instead with the justice system in bringing the full power of the law onto Sandusky.

I don't think the sponsor wanted to be associated with Penn State (and that is their choice).
After all, Penn State is getting money from the game (some of which is indirectly from the
sponsor). The problem I see is that many of these college football programs seem to have
gotten bigger than the college itself.........like a monster out of control......a snowball that can
not be stopped. Kind of like a "we bring in the money, we do what we want" royalty.
