Auburn assistant coach Ira Bowman has been reinstated by the program, following an 80-day investigation into his role in a bribery scheme at the University of Pennsylvania.

An Auburn athletics spokesman confirmed the news, but did not have information regarding the reasoning for his reinstatement.

“After a thorough review of all available facts and information, Ira Bowman has fully resumed his role and responsibilties with the Auburn men’s basketball program,” the school said in a statement.

Bowman was suspended on March 13, after a report was published on March 11 detailing testimony from former Penn head coach Jerome Allen, detailing Bowman’s involvement in the scheme to receive payments from Philip Esformes in order to get his son on the Penn basketball team.

Allen testified that the former Penn assistant, Bowman, knew of the scheme, and was subsequently brought into it after Allen was fired by Penn in 2015.

According to Law360.com, after being fired, Allen set up a separate account where Phillip Esformes would wire money, and Allen also gave Bowman a debit card to access the account.

Auburn spent 11 weeks and three days investigating the facts. The results of that investigation have not been made clear. He was paid during his suspension.

AL.com has filed another open records request.

Head coach Bruce Pearl indicated that, “there’s not an investigation.” However, the Auburn University open records office declined to provide documents to AL.com, citing an open investigation.

247Sports reported on Friday that Auburn president Steven Leath said he would be having discussions relating to Bowman with athletic director Allen Greene and compliance officer Rich McGlynn. AL.com spotted the three having around a 30-minute meeting on Thursday at the SEC Spring Meetings in Sandestin, Florida.

Chad Prewett had been filling in as an assistant coach in the interim, and throughout Auburn’s run to the Final Four. Rivals reported that Bowman participated in recruiting activities this weekend.

Bowman was hired in July 2018, and his current contract expires after next season.
