TOPEKA, Kan., June 8 (UPI) -- A federal grand jury is reviewing evidence in the University of Kansas ticket scandal, sources told the Kansas City Star.
One source told the newspaper the jury has issued at least one subpoena to an unnamed witness, who was to appear last week in Topeka, Kan. The Star reported earlier that a number of subpoenas had been issued.
An internal KU investigation alleged that five KU athletic staff members and a consultant sold or used at least 17,609 men's basketball game tickets and 2,181 football game tickets from 2005 to this year, the Star said. The newspaper said forensic accounting valued ticket losses at about $1.03 million to as high as $3 million.
The Lawrence (Kan.) Journal-World reported Tuesday that sources had told it KU Athletic Director Lew Perkins missed some of last week's Big 12 meetings while testifying before the grand jury.
A university spokesman said he could not confirm Perkins had appeared before the grand jury.
