Blue and orange Bud Light 'Fan Can'

MILWAUKEE - Anheuser-Busch InBev is dropping its "Fan Cans" promotions from communities around the country where colleges, including Boise State University, have complained that the effort - which sells cans of Bud Light in school colors - promotes underage drinking and infringes on trademarks.

The cans have no college logos, names or other identifiers - just 27 color combinations.

Some 25 colleges represented by Collegiate Licensing Co. have sent the brewer formal letters asking it to stop the program at their campuses, according to the company, which represents some 200 colleges and universities.

It declined to name specific schools.

Boise State sent its letter last Thursday, spokesman Frank Zang said.
