KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -Athletic departments around the country are taking a look at their ticket policies a day after officials at Kansas admitted losing at least $1 million in an alleged scalping scheme run by school employees.
Officials at Michigan, Oklahoma and Ohio State all told The Associated Press on Thursday they were reviewing their ticket operations. In addition, Lew Perkins, Kansas’ embattled athletic director, says he’s been contacted by other schools for advice on how to prevent such scandals.
According to an independent investigation, five full-time athletic department employees and a consultant conspired to sell Kansas basketball and football tickets and pocket the money. The employees included some of Perkins’ top lieutenants and involved nearly 20,000 tickets altogether from 2005-2010.
