Auburn offers basketball season ticket holders full refunds amid NCAA scandal
Auburn is offering full refunds to season ticket holders after federal charges were filed against assistant coach Chuck Person, Al.com reported.
The university had sold out season tickets by Monday and announced that single-game tickets will go on sale Thursday.
However, news broke Tuesday that Person was among 10 people arrested and indicted on federal charges after the FBI and U.S. Attorney's office's wide-ranging investigation into bribery, fraud and money laundering in college basketball.

Person is facing six federal charges and has been suspended without pay.
The identities of the Auburn players, or what they allegedly received, hasn't been revealed, but Person is accused of accepting $91,500 in bribes during the span of 10 months. Out of that amount, $18,500 went to the mothers of two basketball players, the court documents claim.
Person, arrested Tuesday, has since been released from federal custody and has a hearing scheduled for Oct. 10.
