A former University of Kansas employee was sentenced today to 37 months in federal prison for her role in the theft and re-sale of millions of dollars in football and basketball tickets.
Kassie Liebsch, 28, of Lawrence cried as she was sentenced Wednesday in Wichita to prison instead of the probation her attorneys had asked the federal judge to impose.
She was ordered to pay, along with her co-defendants, $1.27 million in restitution to KU. She also was ordered to pay the Internal Revenue Service $79,863 in back taxes.
