A coach received bags with $10,000 in cash before also getting wire transfers.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREFormer Pennsylvania basketball coach Jerome Allen testified to taking around $300,000 in wire transfer bribes from a Florida businessman in exchange for getting the man's son into the university with a priority basketball slot.
Allen's testimony was part of a major Medicare and Medicaid fraud investigation from July that caught the coach on wiretaps making the deal with the healthcare executive, Philip Esformes; Allen had already pleaded guilty for bribery charges in October and could face prison time. “I put my whole career out there," Allen testified on the witness stand, according to Law360.com. The 46-year-old said of knowingly breaking NCAA and university rules. “I knew that if it got back to the University of Pennsylvania what I was doing for Morris Esformes, I would be fired."“I accepted the money to help Morris Esformes get into the school," he added. "I got his son into Penn. I got his son into Wharton. None of that would have happened without me.
“Until Jerome’s testimony last week, we also were unaware that former assistant men’s basketball coach Ira Bowman had any relevant knowledge of the matter," the school said in a statement. "The University has been cooperating fully with the government and the NCAA so that the matter is appropriately redressed.”
