One of six co-defendants in the federal prosecution relating to the U. Kansas Athletics ticket scandal pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud Thursday morning.

Kassie Liebsch, a 28-year-old former systems analyst, faces up to 20 years in prison.

She entered a plea agreement in a Wichita court, in which she admitted to taking part in wire fraud by failing to report the activity and gaining $100,000, over a period of about four years, for herself in the transactions.

Sentencing in the case is scheduled for March 30.

Liebsch began working at Athletics when she was a freshman in 2001, later moving to the ticket office in August 2002, according to the plea agreement. From then until 2009, she worked under co-defendants Rodney Jones, then the director of ticket operations, and, eventually, former associate athletics director Charlette Faye Blubaugh. Blubaugh and her husband, Thomas Ray Blubaugh, also implicated in the prosucition, are awaiting trial. Jones has a change-of-plea hearing scheduled for Jan. 14.

Another former Williams’ Fund employee, Ben Kirtland, is also awaiting trial. Further co-defendents Brandon Simmons and Jason Jeffries are awaiting sentencing, set for March 7, after pleading guilty to a charge of concealing a felony.
