Father of Ex-Louisville Commit Cross Examined in NCAA Corruption Trial

Brian Bowen Sr., the father of former Louisville recruit Brian "Tugs" Bowen Jr., was on the stand Tuesday in the federal trial concerning corruption and fraud in the NCAA.

During his questioning, Bowen said he never told his son or his son's mother about money he received under the table from Adidas and Louisville, according to multiple reports.

"I wouldn't want him to be involved in something that's wrong," Bowen Sr. said about his decision not to tell his son about the payments, according to Pete Brush of Law360.
