According to Administrative Policy AD26 Sale and Serving of Food and Beverages at University Locations<\/strong><\/a>, the policy status is under review. I haven’t found any reporting on the status of the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 years of Pepsi pouring rights at Penn State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Joab Thomas<\/strong>, then president of the university, set up the original Pepsi deal in 1992. Part of $14 million deal was used to fund what became known as the Bryce Jordan Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original deal did not go over well with Ralph Nader<\/strong><\/a>. Back when I was an undergrad, grumblings about “Pepsi State” were as common grumbling about the Big11Ten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Penn Staters still aren’t over it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Onward State<\/em> has published a few columns<\/strong><\/a> demanding an end to the tyranny<\/em> of Pepsi<\/strong><\/a> on campus. A change.org petition is out as well, though certain aspects of it strain credibility – Popular drinks such as Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Fanta<\/strong> are nowhere to be found on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fanta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One statecollege.com<\/em> columnist even suggests that becoming a Coke school could appease the football gods<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I assume that Pepsi will retain the pouring rights and the contact is in the lawyers hands. I don’t have a strong feeling about it because I’m not on campus much any more. Even if I am, I can take care of my beverage choice either way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
