Since Mike Posner was chosen to perform at SpringFest, rumors have circulated around the university about why artists like T-Pain, Snoop Dogg and Ludacris were not coming to perform even though they were the highest voted artists on the ballot.

SpringFest is a music festival held by the university every Spring. This will be the tenth year SpringFest has been held.
The SpringFest committee was told to make the ballot like they had the same budget as previous years, said SpringFest Student Co-Director Joe Giannini.
