Perkins reported a staff member blackmailing him over a case involving premium men's basketball tickets. William Dent, a former employee, alleged in the Topeka Capital Journal that Perkins helped equipment company owners secure tickets. Mark Glass denied any improper exchange for EU tickets. The July investigation was dropped as Perkins plans retirement in September 2011.
