Message to NCAA: Suspend Binghamton Basketball Edit

When will the circus be over at Thugington University?

Kevin Broadus is unethical in everything he does, and Binghamton as a University is unfortunately just as responsible as he is for this mess. The school let him control their once-respectable basketball program, and now they all must pay the price. The NCAA needs to suspend Binghamton's Basketball team for the upcoming season and the America East needs to boot them from the conference.

Player(s) dealing crack cocaine. Recruiting and signing players that are academically ineligible or socially troubled. The Binghamton Athletic Department letting it happen. Now (according to the New York Times article below) Broadus has illegally contacted recruits in back stairwells.

Who does this guy think he is? Broadus has been running his basketball team the way Bernie Madoff invested peoples money. By being deceptive, taking the trust of supporters and abusing it, by bending or breaking rules and completely disregarding the right way to do things. He thought he'd get away with it. Hmm, that sounds familiar.

I've always stood by my opinion that Broadus is a thug. Too bad Binghamton University didn't see that, or turned a blind eye in hopes of boosting Binghamton basketball to UNLV status (oh wait, you guys kind of did that!). We can only hope the guy never has another job in college basketball and that Binghamton is removed from the America East conference. If someone operated this way in the business world, that person would lose their job and also face criminal punishment. Broadus (to now be known as 'Basketball Madoff'), the Binghamton Athletic Department and overall institution deserve similar penalties.
