The first of three trials in the FBI’s ongoing effort to rid corruption in college hoops entered day three on Thursday, and brought with it some salacious allegations aimed at OSU by a key witness in the case.

Brian Bowen Sr., the father of former five-star prospect Brian Bowen, testified in court that his son and family, who accepted $100,000 in exchange for his commitment to Louisville, was offered a higher amount by OSU.

$150,000 for a commitment and $8,000 to go toward a car and more money towards a house, to be exact, according to Yahoo’s Dan Wetzel, who adds that the offer came from ex-assistant coach Lamont Evans.
