Bucky Names Names

What is it with Wisconsin and naming names? I mean first Joe McCarthy and now a gem for the digital age... to whit: the Student Newspaper up in Madison learned of 33 students who, having purchased their Rose Bowl tickets for the face value price of $150 were selling them on Facebook for upwards of $400. The School Paper thought that this was a truly crap-tastic way to make a buck, said as much- but and here's the kicker: named the 33 students who were doing it right there in the paper.

My initial reaction: daaaaaaaaamn!

My secondary reaction: people sell tickets for mark-ups all the time. What did they expect? A profusion of school spirit? Piss-poor students not wanting to make a buck? (Though now that I've said that, how poor can you be if you can afford a ticket to the Rose Bowl...)

Anyway kids, click the links above- read for yourselves and then... DISCUSS! Go!

(In further updates: it looks like Bucky has removed the infamous 33- because they had been sent 200 more names! Bwahahahahahahahaha!)
