Chris Mills probably didn’t know his dad was supposed to get $1000 in that Emory envelope either. It didn’t help in that case. He also got to transfer and play at ArizonaThe NCAA set a precedent with the Cam Newton case. If they can't prove Bowen new they pretty much have to let him play. That was the issue with Newton. NCAA could never actually prove he knew anything, just his father. From what we know, NCAA has never actually provided any evidence that Bowen knew anything.
