Not sure of the times. I had an in-law do this signature bit. He got like .$.25 to 50 a valid name. This was in the mid-90′s though when the miunimum wage was $4.50.

The players were hired, at $9 an hour
Also, isnt this some sort of NCAA violation?

No. Players can have summer jobs if they wish. The job just has to be legit.

I thought the kids could get a job during the summer. With the NCAA, who knows what rules actually exist

From the article: The players were hired, at $9 an hour, to gather signatures for two citizen initiatives, one to set up a state conservation fund and the other to make marijuana legal for medical treatments.

and: Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents interviewed the circulators, who said they could not say which signatures on their petitions were genuine and which were not, Stenehjem said. Petition circulators are required to sign a statement declaring the signatures they gathered were properly obtained.

Spence, I clicked on the link, they were hired by a pro-pot committee to collect signatures. Because of their fraud, the initiatives for legalizing pot couldnt get on the ballot.

In one instance, a person signed the name of Hillary Rodham, who is better known as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and listed her as living at the White House

North Dakota State is the reigning FCS National Champion and upset Minnesota 37-24 in 2011Calling that an upset is a stretch. I'm fairly certain NDSU was favored, as were all of the other Minn opponents.

The players could face up to a year in prison.

So at some point, fathers are going to look at their kids who participated in athletics at NDSU, and will once again say “Bison”.
