Charlette Blubaugh, the former associate athletic director in charge of the ticket office at Kansas, was among five ex-school employees charged in the more the multi-million dollar Kansas ticket scam.
The five are charged with conspiring to steal more than $2 million in tickets to basketball and football games, tickets that turned a profit of between $3 and $5 million over five years.
Jason Jeffries and Brandon Simmons, both former ticket office employees, pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony in July.
Prosecutors allege that Blubaugh began stealing tickets in 2005, and later gave them to others to sell.
All five defendants, including former assistant athletic director Rodney Jones, were named in a report this summer by a Wichita law firm that was hired to investigate alleged wrongdoing in the university's ticket office.
Also charged were former associate athletic director Ben Kirtland; systems analyst Kassie Liebsch and Thomas Blubaugh, who is Charlette Blubaugh's husband.
Prosecutors said the scheme included entering false information into a computer system designed to prevent tickets from being stolen, paying kickbacks to third parties not connected to the ticket office to sell tickets, and concealing the receipt of outside income on reports required by the NCAA.
The report released earlier this year said five Kansas athletics staffers and a consultant-none of whom still work for the university-sold or used at least 17,609 men's basketball tickets, 2,181 football tickets and a number of parking passes and other passes for personal purposes.
The report showed that more than $887,000 in basketball tickets and more than $122,000 worth of football tickets were involved.
Jones' attorney, Gerald Handley, said he had not seen the indictment and had no comment. It was not immediately clear if the other four had attorneys.
