Bowen would have to sit out next year at a minimum .
- Thread starter jeff2001
- Start date
He sat out this last season. Seems like the NCAA just forced him to go pro so they don’t have to deal with the situation anymore.
It took them this long to announce this? What a joke. The kid just missed an entire season
The NCAA is as corrupt as our DOJ and FBI----SURPRISE ,SURPISE!!!!
They let this kid think he had a chance after all this time and wait until the last day they could for this garbage

Sat out last year because he transferred.
I wonder if he would have stayed if they had given a definitive answer on how long he would be ineligible.
That’s probably the most frustrating part. The NCAA didn’t even make a ruling on this case, they just said he has to sit out another season and then maybe more after that. That’s some horse shit if I’ve ever seen it.
Also waiting until 7 hours before the deadline to give this vague “ruling” is so dumb. They could’ve said this last year.
Sounds like the last time I was selling a house and the buyer found a weird excuse to drop out 45 minutes before close.
The NCAA says Brian Bowen you are no Cam Newton.
Would assume you kept the earnest money if your contract was written properly.

I guess I look at it differently. I see it as they weren't finished with their decision but they went ahead and let Tanner know it will be a year, at least. Gave the kid a chance to make a decision about the draft.
And Bowen's crappy family got to keep $100,000 in earnest money.
I blame the Dad for taking the money, and I blame the NCAA for playing with the kid and his future.

Wasn't there a certain deposit into the Dad's church of about 250k of no direct explanation? That's a pretty good trail.
You're talking donations to a church. NCAA isn't going to kick that hornet's nest....and I don't blame them.
Glad Bowen was able to practice with the team. Good luck to him. Newton's situation was different for two reasons. Not technically caught and he finished at the school he started with. If NCAA treated Bowen the same as Newton, he would be playing for Louisville.

I could be wrong but there was no proof of deposit or any payment for that matter, just speculation.
I do know the NCAA changed their rules to include parents, as agents, because of Scam.
