Charlette Blubaugh, who was the executive administrative assistant to the athletic director at the University of Central Oklahoma, resigned that position Wednesday, the Daily Oklahoman reported Thursday.
Blubaugh resigned her post in the Kansas University ticket office on Feb. 3. On Wednesday, she and her husband, Tom, were revealed as two individuals involved in the ticket scam involving the selling of football and basketball tickets at KU for personal profit.
Tom Blubaugh was the University of Oklahoma’s ticket director until 2003. Charlette Blubaugh was the operations manager at the OU ticket office. The two married in 2004 after they had left Norman. In KU’s report it was suggested that the Blubaughs engaged in similar activities of selling tickets for personal purposes when they worked at OU.
OU spokesman Kenny Mossman told the Daily Oklahoman that the school is surprised by the KU report and has contacted federal officials to offer assistance in the investigation.
“The involved individuals with OU ties have not been employed at the University of Oklahoma for a number of years. None are current employees,” Mossman told The Oklahoman via e-mail.
“One has not worked for the university for seven years, while the others have not been employees for four years or more. The University of Oklahoma’s ticket operation is reviewed annually by an external auditing firm and also is subjected to routine internal audits conducted by the university’s internal auditing office to protect the integrity of the process. No evidence of impropriety has been found.”
