As an AZ alum, I agree the students should call for the resignation of the ASUA president and any other knuckleheads involved in the project. Someone needs to be held accountable for this screw up.

*Blaming the economy is BS. If they thought the economy was bad, they should have came up with a better plan!

that Jay-Z was not the right artist on which to place a big concert promotion bet in ARIZONA (of all places). That said, if Jay-Z amounted to anything personally and realized what has happened to a student government, he would give some of his proceeds back---in an amount equal to ALL of it that exceeded his actual costs of appearing there. Of course, this probably won't happen.

As for the previous poster blaming this on supporters of Obama, good grief.

Boy did they overestimate the appeal of that guy. Ha! They thought they would get 30K (c)rap fans paying for tickets???? Bwahahahahahahaha.....

Serves them right, I hope the students have the common sense to kick out that pack of fools. The masterminds behind it are clearly lefties; they gave away almost as many tickets as were paid for, bankrupted the student government for years to come, and blame it on someone else (I cant believe Bush wasnt specifically named as the cause of this). If every "student leader" behind this economic Chernobyl isnt an Obamite I'm the King of England...

Guess they should have hoped for a little more change.

Haha you fools of MD 7:45AM May 07, 2009
