NEW YORK — Oklahoma State was among the programs that the father of a top college basketball prospect has testified offered him thousands of dollars to get his son to play for them.
At a federal trial over allegations about dirty money in college basketball, Brian Bowen Sr. testified Thursday in New York that aspiring agent Christian Dawkins told him he could pocket $150,000 to go to Oklahoma State. He also mentioned Texas, Arizona, Creighton and Oregon.
Bowen told a Manhattan jury it was his understanding the offers were being made by assistant coaches at the schools, though he never spoke to them directly about money.
