Five former University of Kansas officials have been charged: by a Federal Grand Jury in a scheme allegedly involving the theft and sale of over 17,000 KU Basketball tickets and 2,000 KU Football tickets. In addition to a possible 30-year prison sentence, prosecutors are aiming to recover between three- and five- million dollars from the accused. The Lawrence Journal-News provides an interactive timeline for your perusal.

As a KU fan, I'm dying for this to just be put behind us. Between that & a new AD, hopefully we can move past the recent successful & shady era @ KU.

As a Baylor alum, brain, trust me, it could've been worse and it'll get better faster than you think. Well, for Jayhawks basketball anyhow. Can't make any promises for your football squad.

Relatedly, the Selby debacle appears to be resolved, hopefully.

I can understand the basketball tickets, but come on, the football tickets you can't give away.
