NDSU Bison Football Players in hot water!

I think the football players involved in the petition fraud have been hit one too many times on the field...why oh why would they do something so stupid???!!

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Several members of North Dakota State University's football team face charges of petition fraud.

 Secretary of State Al Jaeger says two citizen initiatives won't make it onto the November ballot because hundreds of signatures on the initiative petitions were bogus.

 The measures sought to set up a state fund for conservation projects, and make marijuana use legal for medical treatment.

 Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says many of the petition signatures were copied from phone books or simply made up.

 Eleven people face misdemeanor fraud charges for making false statements when circulating the petitions. Stenehjem says most of them are current or former members of NDSU's football team.

 They include: Aireal Boyd, Marcus Williams, Brendin Pierre, Josh Colville, Sam Ojuri, Antonio Rodgers, Bryan Shepherd, and Demetrius Gray. Former player Josh Gatlin is also charged.
