Corruption in College Basketball

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

Yeah that might not end well.

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’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 .

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...

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 7,310]

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.

At least Texas & San Diego State are holding their players out while this is being investigated. Something I don’t think MSU will do with Bridges. Time for Izzo to go.

I generally agree with your overall view on the cesspool that is college recruiting. 

But I've always had a hard time reconciling Troy getting something extra with the rantings on the board from his mother. If he was, there is no way she wouldn't have let something slip in her unhinged ramblings. Maybe they kept her in the dark though, wouldn't have been hard to do.

[Hoosier1984 1,603]

My hope is this is all for IU and no Dayton news

100%. Your rating dictates your worth. He's just getting what he thinks he deserves.

Any kid from the east coast worries me during the Crean era.

Honestly pisses me off that some people blame the 16-20 year old players and not the grown @$$ men perpetuating this.
