One thing that violated amateurism is entering into an agreement with an agent. Here agent is defined as anyone who "seeks to obtain any type of financial gain or benefit from securing a prospective student-athlete's enrollment". To ask another player on the same team to sign with your firm in exchange for enrolling the prospective student-athlete seems to violate that pretty handily.
So if it's known that Dawkins is "handling" his recruitment, however that is known, I think it's clear that Bowen has entered into some sort of agreement [can be oral or written]. Thus Dawkins asking for a quid-pro-quo would make Bowen ineligible, even if he wasn't asking for cash. He was clearly asking for financial gain / benefit associated with the other players signing with ASM.
