Former Texas basketball target Brian Bowen apparently implicated in massive NCAA corruption scandal
On Tuesday, the college basketball world was rocked with the news that the FBI has been investigating fraud and corruption in the NCAA since 2015, resulting in 10 charges, including four against assistant coaches, and more news to follow.
And one of the players involved appears to be former Texas Longhorns basketball target Brian Bowen, a top-20 national prospect and the nation’s No. 5 small forward who starred at La Lumiere School in Indiana and signed with the Louisville Cardinals.
