Although Brian Bowen was at the center of the FBI investigation against Louisville and other schools, he maintains he had no part in it.

"I was shocked," Bowen said about the FBI probe on Outside the Lines, per Jeff Goodman of ESPN. "I didn't believe it at all. ... They have to be lying. There's no way I'm involved in it. ... I don't know anything about it."

Adidas reportedly sent $100,000 to his father, Brian Bowen Sr., to get the 5-star recruit to sign with Louisville. The scandal resulted in head coach Rick Pitino being fired from the school.
