Eight North Dakota State players charged with faking signature petitions - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com News, Scores, Stats, Schedule and BCS Rankings
From article:
BISMARCK, N.D. -- Eight North Dakota State University football players are among 15 people who were formally charged Friday with faking petition signatures in a scandal that kept two initiatives from getting on the November ballot.
Four of the accused players are starters - running back Samuel Ojuri, offensive lineman Joshua Colville and defensive backs Marcus Williams and Brendin Pierre.
The list includes backup defensive backs Bryan Shepherd and Aireal Boyd, linebacker Antonio Rodgers and redshirt freshman wide receiver Demitrius Gray, as well as former players Joshua Gatlin, Don Carter and D.J. McNorton. Gatlin was a defensive back, Carter a linebacker and McNorton a running back.
NDSU Coach Craig Bohl has said the current players will not be disciplined until the criminal charges are resolved and the allegations were not considered serious enough to suspend them from the team.
The players were among the people hired to gather signatures for two ballot measures. One sought to establish a state fund to promote conservation, environmental and water projects, financed by a share of North Dakota's oil tax collections. The second was aimed at making marijuana use legal for people suffering from chronic pain and debilitating illnesses.
