Brian Bowen Sr. is expected to take the stand as early as Thursday in the ongoing college basketball corruption trial in New York.
Bowen and his son Brian Bowen Jr., also known as "Tuggs," were at the center of a crazy recruiting process filled with corruption at the hands of both Adidas and Louisville-affiliated individuals. Bowen agreed to have Adidas pay him $100,000 for his son to attend the University of Louisville, which the sneaker company sponsors. The deal was orchestrated by Adidas executives James Gatto and Merl Code along with sports agent Christian Dawkins, a longtime family friend from the Bowen's hometown of Saginaw, Mich.
