The first of an expected three trials stemming from a FBI investigation into college basketball began a few days ago. Twitter exploded with allegations made during testimony. The most buzz came from testimony by Brian Bowen Sr., father of former prized recruit Brian Bowen II. Alabama basketball fans were dismayed when Collin Sexton’s name appeared in trial proceedings.
The senior Bowen was allegedly involved in accepting money from Adidas in exchange for his son to sign with an Adidas-affiliated college basketball school. He is testifying in a trial for defendants, James Gatto (Adidas executive), Merl Code (formerly with Adidas) and Christian Dawkins.
