David and Dana Pump Respond to Yahoo! Sports Story Regarding University of Kansas Ticket Investigation

LOS ANGELES, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is released on behalf of Dana and David Pump:

Yahoo! Sports published an article Wednesday, May 26 regarding an investigation conducted by the University of Kansas into the unauthorized sale of tickets by certain campus employees. This article contains allegations regarding us by David Freeman, a three time convicted felon reportedly facing an 18-month prison sentence on a bribery charge. To be clear, we have always conducted our business operations in an ethical, legal, and professional manner.

We were never contacted by the University of Kansas or any governmental entity in connection with this matter. Our names do not appear anywhere in the University of Kansas report. We learned of the existence of the unauthorized ticket activities following the publication of the aforementioned article. Should the University of Kansas and/or any governmental agency wish to speak with us, we will be happy to cooperate.

We have worked tirelessly to build our personal and professional reputations and to honor the memory of our late father, by establishing the Harold Pump Foundation, a non-profit which has raised nearly $4 million dollars to fight cancer. We will continue to pursue this passion knowing that we can rely upon the continuing assistance and support of our friends and colleagues.
