State Farm to Raise Funds for Baylor University’s Student Organization Bear Pit on March 5

On Saturday morning, March 5, State Farm® will provide Baylor University fans with an opportunity to raise money for the Bear Pit during the on-site telecast of ESPN's College GameDay (9 a.m. CST on ESPNU continuing on ESPN at 10 a.m.).

For every person who attends the morning show on Saturday, State Farm, which is sponsoring College GameDay for the fifth consecutive year, will donate $1 to Bear Pit, with a potential contribution of more than $10,000. The Bear Pit is a student organization that helps increase student involvement in Baylor basketball. 

Doors open at the Ferrell Center at 7:00 a.m.  Fans should show their school spirit by wearing team colors. The morning show is free to the public and tickets are not required. Students are encouraged to bring homemade signage. 

One lucky morning audience member will get the exciting opportunity to attempt a half-court shot.  If the shot is made, State Farm will give the person $18,000 representing the approximately 18,000 State Farm agents across the country and if they miss the shot, they will get $1,000!

Fans planning to attend the morning show should visit the State Farm NationTM on Facebook at facebook.com/StateFarmNation, where they can submit questions for the College GameDay hosts. Several lucky fans' questions will be presented to the hosts, who will answer them via video responses online.  All video responses will be posted to the State Farm NationTM page on Facebook.
