TICKET SCANDAL
Blubaugh to serve nearly four years
A federal judge sentenced former consultant to Kansas Athletics Tom Blubaugh to 46 months in prison and more than $1 million in restitution for his role in the conspiracy to steal and sell tickets.
Federal court representative Jim Cross confirmed that the Wichita judge ordered Blubaugh to pay $841,111 to the University and $268,292 to the IRS.
Blubaugh admitted in his guilty plea that he and six other co-
defendants were responsible for diverting $2 million in ticket sales
According to prosecutors, Blubaugh's involvement was in concealing the theft "by using third parties not connected to the ticket office to sell tickets to individuals;" Cross wrote in a media release. Blubaugh also paid travel expenses for the intermediaries and a ticket broker, based in Oklahoma, as well as worked to hide the income from the IRS.
Blubaugh's wife,Charlette Blubaugh,is a former associate athletics director in charge of the ticket office.She is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday.
For their part in the illegal sales, former systems analyst Kassie Liebsch has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison and former Williams Fund manager Rodney Jones to 46 months. Another former athletics employee, Ben Kirtland, is set for sentencing May 12.
Two more former employees, Brandon Simmons and Jason Jeffries, have each been sentenced to probation and several thousand dollars in restitution for failing to report the felonies of the other codefendants.
