QUOTE
In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in New York, an FBI agent claims that the four men -- at the request of a university coach -- agreed to provide the $100,000 from an unnamed company to the player's family. Shortly after the agreement in late May and early June, the player publicly committed to the school, the complaint says.

While his name is not directly mentioned, recruit Brian Bowen was widely viewed as a surprise commitment when he announced on June 3 he was coming to U of L.

The indictments indicate that the FBI video-recorded a July 27 meeting in Las Vegas involving a coach from the school that appears to be U of L and the recruitment of another high school player who is expected to graduate in 2019.

Sounds like Bowen has been suspended and not participating in team activities since this story broke.

Bowen was cleared by the FBI. It is up to Louisville if he will be allowed to play per news reports.

The NCAA also still has to weigh in. If they still feel the day acted as a representative, they can still deem him ineligible.
