5-Star Freshman SF Brian Bowen Won't Play for Louisville, Allowed to Transfer

The University of Louisville announced Wednesday that suspended 5-star freshman small forward Brian Bowen will not play for the school's basketball team.

According to Jeff Greer of the Louisville Courier-Journal, the school also announced it will allow Bowen to seek a transfer if he so chooses.

Per ESPN's Jeff Goodman, a source indicated Louisville did not seek reinstatement for Bowen prior to Wednesday's decision.

According to Justin Sayers and Darcy Costello of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Bowen was suspended in September after an FBI probe alleged that a Louisville recruit's family was paid $100,000 to commit to Louisville.
