Brian Bowen's father testifies on pay for play at college basketball programs
Posted Oct 4, 2018
At a federal trial over allegations about dirty money in college basketball, Brian Bowen Sr. said that aspiring agent Christian Dawkins told the father he could pocket $50,000 if his son played at the University of Arizona, $150,000 at Oklahoma State or $100,000 at Creighton. Bowen said there was some interest from Oregon but didn’t recall a cash offer. Brian Bowen Jr. now plays professionally in Australia.
