Penn State alleges in a new lawsuit that its insurance carrier has not been honoring its legal obligation to cover claims related to the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The university says in an 18-page complaint filed in Bellefonte that it has been sued or contacted by 29 claimants that Pennsylvania Manufacturer's Insurance Company has not provided coverage. The lawsuit alledges breach of contract and bad faith, and seeks damages and costs.
