A federal judge has again ruled that the former wife of a Kansas University official caught in a ticket scalping scandal cannot keep money and property fraudulently transferred to her in the couple’s divorce settlement.
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten Tuesday affirmed a September ruling for the government in its lawsuit against Ben Kirtland, the former Kansas associate athletic director in charge of development, and his ex-wife, Mary Jean Kirtland.
The government contends the transferred property and money are worth more than $470,000.
The judge says Mary Kirtland knew of her husband’s precarious legal and financial situation and paid nothing to him before the transfers in the property settlement.
The government is now trying to collect more than $55,000 from Mary Kirtland. Marten also refused to allow her to appeal the judgment without posting any bond.
Ben Kirtland was one of seven Kansas athletics officials convicted for the unlawful sale of Jayhawk football and basketball season tickets

I once witnessed a minor and meaningless dispute between a friend and his wife once. He would not compromise and she said and I quote "two become one" lmfao

Give it back to the people who really got abused in this scandal, the loyal KU season ticket holders.

Who got the stolen tickets? Are they guilty of buying stolen property? Did they know? Just buy from the ticket office. pay list price and be happy.
