Suspicious handling of KU tickets mentioned to Star in ’06

A sentence in the recent Yahoo! Sports investigation into the KU ticket scandal suggests that The Kansas City Star let the story slip through its fingers.

The Yahoo! story features an interview with David Freeman, the sketchy real-estate developer who admits playing a role in the ticket-scalping operation. Freeman has been depicted as a man spilling his guts in order to win leniency in an unrelated bribery case. But the Yahoo! story suggests Freeman has tried to tell the story for some time.

“Freeman first divulged the details of the ticket scalping in an

interview with a current Yahoo! Sports reporter during the summer of

2006,” the story said.
