After not appearing in Yahoo Sports' first bombshell report Friday on the FBI's investigation into NCAA basketball that mentioned some of the nation's top programs, some IU basketball fans might have exhaled.
Well, that sense of relief didn't last long.
[URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/black-market-diaries-emails-hoops-corruption-case-detail-inner-workings-sports-underbelly-030605930.html']Yahoo published a second report late Friday. In it, former IU assistant Chuck Martin is named in emails sent by Christian Dawkins, who worked for ASM Sports agency and NBA agent Andy Miller, to superiors at ASM Sports.
"Dawkins, provides a roadmap for the quid-pro-quo relationship between the agent world and college coaches. He dangles a high school prospect — five-star recruit Brian Bowen — as potential trade bait for schools to steer their best players to ASM Sports. On the same July day, Dawkins wrote to (Andy) Miller that he connected with two Big Ten assistants, Dwayne Stephens of Michigan State and Chuck Martin, formerly of Indiana.
"Chuck Martin – trying to close the deal on Brian Bowen for Indiana," Dawkins said in an email to an unnamed party at ASM Sports, according to Yahoo. "I told him if we can work together and if he can push for us to get (Hoosiers) Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby two projected first rounders from IU this year we can work something out.”
