BLAINE, Minn. — An NFL investigation into ticket-scalping has found evidence that Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice violated league policy. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, speaking at a news conference, said he would discipline Tice soon for his handling of Super Bowl tickets, but he did not specify when. Tagliabue said the discipline likely would include fines for reselling tickets, but no suspension. Tice was being investigated for heading up a ticket-scalping operation within the Vikings organization that included assistant coaches and some players. Tice denied buying tickets from players since he took over as Vikings coach in 2002, but he acknowledged last month that he resold some of his allotment of 12 Super Bowl tickets last season and had also resold his tickets as a Vikings assistant coach from 1996-2001. Vikings spokesman Bob Hagan said Tice is out of the country on vacation would not be commenting. Tagliabue said yesterday that he was told this week by officials investigating the matter that there “were clear violations of our policies.”
