Tai Streets Allegedly Paid Brian Bowen Sr

Here is a friendly neighborhood site sponsor chipping in some important points:

Read the whole thread.

If the NCAA can't get the sonofabitch who paid $100,000 for Deandre Ayton, they ain't going to lay a finger on Michigan here. 

Fire Beilein, he's a dirty recruiter. /s

noooo don't do that

It still shouldn't matter, but Tai Streets actually played basketball for Michigan, for those of you that don't remember.  Appeared in 13 games.

The real story would be if a recruit of Bowen's caliber _wasn't_ paid for everything he does.

This feels very much like a stretch, considering Michigan never really went after Bowen and my guess is that you could find graduates for basically every major university involved in some way, shape, or form with player payments if your bar is "went to school there."  

Again, pay the players.  

Nothing will come of this of course, but did Bowen ever visit here? I don’t remember us ever being involved with him, but a scumbag idiot (one of the worst over there) on the RCMB says he visited here and got crystal balls after his visit. I’d say that’s BS. 

The fact is that the NCAA puts the onus on the schools to police themselves, and so it's on Michigan's Compliance office to control the "boosters," including all the former players. No one else in the NCAA apparatus has the ability to enforce the rules. Yes it's an impossible job, but I have to believe that Michigan did everything they reasonably could to educate the boosters about the rules. They likely have already self-reported a minor violation, demonstrate there was no benefit, and everyone will move on. Maybe another email will go out to all alumni/boosters reminding them that they cannot do stuff like this.

Louisville coaches paid prostitutes to sleep with recruits and fathers. They still have a program. As long as that’s the standard, I’m not sure why anyone follows the rules. 

Also, they paid the parent.  Cam Newton already proved this means nothing can happen unless the kid knew that the payment took place and at the full digits for least five of the bill serial numbers 

FWIW, heres the surprise of the day - RCMB thinks the program should be tanked.  By surprise, I mean typical news.  Went there for the football shade because I've found the end of the internet, should have gone back to the start...
