Not sure what this means for the player and UofL. Their interim president seems anti-athletics. From article on ESPN...

Louisville freshman Brian Bowen has been cleared by the FBI, Bowen's lawyer told the Louisville Courier-Journal on Thursday. The school now has the option to consider reinstating Bowen, whom it suspended following the FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball.

Through a school spokesman, Louisville declined to comment to ESPN, citing the ongoing federal investigation. Bowen has remained enrolled at the school.

Federal documents allege that Adidas funneled $100,000 to an unnamed player -- later identified as Bowen -- to sign with Louisville, at the request of a Cardinals coach. Bowen's lawyer has maintained his client was not privy to the bribe, which allegedly went to Brian Bowen Sr.

"Brian was not aware of any of the alleged activities," Jason Setchen told the Courier-Journal, "and it is our position that he has not violated any NCAA rules or bylaws. ... It is unfair to Brian or any student-athlete to try and punish them for actions of others who are not in their control."
