The investigation into Rodney Jones, former head of the Athletics Ticket Office at the University of Kansas, unveils a shocking conspiracy involving the theft and resale of basketball tickets. Over five years, Jones and a group of officials orchestrated a scheme that embezzled $2 million worth of tickets, generating up to $5 million in profits. This major scandal in college sports led to all seven members of the "Kansas Ticket Gang" pleading guilty to RICO Act charges, resulting in prison sentences for five and probation for two who cooperated with authorities.
