Former University of Minnesota ticket sales supervisor pleads guilty to wire fraud

ST. PAUL — A former ticket sales supervisor for the University of Minnesota admitted Friday to stealing $361,336 from the athletics department over five years.

Brent Holck, 37, pleaded guilty to felony wire fraud under an agreement with federal prosecutors. He’ll be sentenced May 6.

Federal guidelines call for a prison term of 33 to 41 months, plus one to three years of supervised release. He could be fined anywhere from $15,000 to $150,000.

Prosecutors charged Holck by information rather than seeking a grand jury indictment after he agreed to plead guilty. His sentencing range was reduced because he took responsibility for his crime.
