Voters Selling Nickname Vote

Now I have heard it all. We have eligible voters selling their votes. What next?

Anna Burleson, Grand Forks Herald -- Schurkey Swanke is "trolling for idiots," as he puts it.

Swanke lives in Grand Forks and qualifies to vote for UND's new nickname because he has donated money to the school, but he said he's so sick of hearing about it that he's selling his vote online.

"UND is not an institution of hockey, and UND is not an institution of football," he said. "I enjoy hockey, but if there were any money savings that could be devoted to education, I'd cancel the hockey program in a heartbeat. It's a diversion from the real core of what UND was supposed to do."
