Corruption in College Basketball

[HoosierSadaseci]

It's good that this is all coming out...but the timing of it being right before March Madness is kind of odd, it's like they are trying to ruin the tournament with this news.

[Btownclouds]

I did not expect all this to come out so quick..

[CR3AMnCR1MS0N]

My guess is that if we did anything, it'll be like $10,000 to 2 players and we'll lose two scholarships for about 3 years, if the NCAA/FBI actually starts dropping the hammer.

Total speculation. Take this with a shaker of salt.
Also a lot of ifs.

An interesting twist here - Chuck Martin is now an assistant at South Carolina, which is where Brian Bowen ultimately transferred to after leaving Louisville.

Anyone "debating" recruiting with me this past week want to talk about it now?

When you view recruiting as dirty, your perspective changes completely. Believe me, that's why I could pick which recruits we'd never get.

No I would have to say you had this one pegged. By our level of recruits it’s safe to assume where we were on the dirty scale. Feeling good about it, but I assume we see some changes. Maybe a few programs get hit if the coach directed the meetings. Other than maybe some vacated wins. I would laugh if we had to vacate a Sweet 16. Now that would be the ultimate lasting Creaning.

So Dawkins was dangling Bowen out to anyone and everyone. He wanted OG and Tom, neither who signed with ASM. And Martin is no longer with the program.

I'll sleep just fine. Lots of other programs aren't feeling the same way tonight.

Yeah that might not end well.

Yeah that’s where I am and why I can laugh about it. Nobody is naive to think discussions weren’t taking place as much as has been coming out. Luckily for us we had a chihuahua as a coach [emoji23].

Yep and Dozier from SC got paid. Not surprised SC is involved. Frank Martin admitted and got booted out of FL high school ball for giving extra benefits. At least he was honest about it and said he would help his poor players with food, etc...

[dallas44~]

I'd say u can pretty much assume Troy and Thomas got extra benefits. Vonleh too. And probably many others.

The fact TB would have been part of the “package” for Bowen, it’s pretty clear they were not connected. Just my 2 cents

So Sean Miller will go down in flames as one of the most dirty coaches ever. Ugh. Another shot against Archie's hire

[AKHoosier]

It doesn't say if Martin reached out to Dawkins, or if Dawkins reached out to Martin.  I'd think that matters, and I'd like to think it was the latter since he never considered us at all.

Tonight is the first time I've ever seen "Indiana" and "Brian Bowen" in the same sentence.

And I remember people saying Bowen is a good kid. He's not at fault.

I would never of paid a dime for Bryant. He was vastly overrated

Curious how the Martin info may/may not tie back to FCTC.

And Sean Miller is toast...

For a short time we were connected over the summer of his junior season. Didn’t last long.

Honestly surprised? It was pretty obvious to me. We were involved with all the crooked recruits, just didn't land many of them. They were just taking their part of our 1 million dollar recruiting budget.

No, actually, not surprised at all!  He was always out of place, IMO, and NEVER belonged at IU.  I questioned that hire from the start.

Literally no part of this makes Bowen a bad kid.
