I hear a lot of Crean bashing through all of this. He was an awful "in game coach" that much is true, however if we come out of this clean then I think we owe him a lot more gratitude than he's gettin

Rick Bozich:  A spokesman for the University of Louisville confirmed that Brian Bowen is not enrolled at U of L for the spring semester.

And now this from Jeff Goodman:  Former Louisville commit Brian Bowen told ESPN he has been admitted to South Carolina and will seek reinstatement from the NCAA. Story coming.

Yikes.  I feel like he should just be permanently blacklisted from college basketball.

Louisville news is also saying that he has enrolled at South Carolina. No time table for a return to the court though.

The ncaa will show how worthless they are and let the kid play. Didnt he take 100k?

Technically his dad did. There is no proof it trickled down to him, but common sense tells you that. So he won’t get punished for his dad taking the fall.

I thought the Cam Newton Rule had been thrown out? If so, it doesn't matter if Bowen knew of his father's actions or not.

Honestly, let the kid play. The people who bribed him are the individuals in power who are paid to uphold the rules of their system. I understand that legally the active and passive party in a bribe are guilty, but until the NCAA undergoes team change to fix this systemic issue and prevent this from happening in the future, I don’t want to see individual student athletes punished.

As devil's advocate, Perea didn't know his guardian's wife bought bumper stickers years before he was born and HE still got punished for it.

Every kid knows it is against rules so if he can't play i am all for it. Punish everyone involved and let kids learn a lesson as well.

Yeah he knew nothing. He is as pure as the driven snow and was driving around in a brand new 80k vehicle. I'm sorry but he is no victim here and sometimes you need to learn a tough lesson in life.

What lesson is that?  That sometimes you are the scapegoat so a corrupt organization can keep being corrupt. 

No I would be all for punishing the kid if the NCAA was actually trying to clean itself up. But they aren't. Don't punish the kids for taking the money if you aren't going to punish the coaches doing it.

So most kids in the ncaa probably took nothing. You think Wisconsin and Indiana players are taking big checks to play? Yet they see a kid take 100k with no punishment? What's the point of any of them doing it the right way going forward then. You may as well let them all be paid from here in out then. Make it legal.

Seems like a great reason to clean it up. Not scapegoat some kid. Punishing the kids is never going to clean it up.
