Basketball Player Kicked Off Facebook for Ad

Andy Robinson, a basketball star at University of Buffalo, was kicked off the team after posting an ad on Facebook looking for a fellow student to write his paper. Apparently he was able to figure out Facebook’s SocialAds program in order to post the following ad:

I am paying anybody who have read the book ‘there are no children here’ by Alex Kotlowitz $30-40 which in some classes you have to read at UB (even more money if you have to read the book a little more!!) to write a 3-4 page paper, on a couple questions which was assigned.
