Among the many findings:
¶Coach Kevin Broadus successfully lobbied for a player’s grade to be changed.
¶Independent study classes were created exclusively for basketball players.
¶An assistant coach and a player openly discussed cash payments and academic cheating.
¶Coaches tried to keep arrests of players quiet, and gave players advice on what to tell the police while being questioned.
Binghamton is not alone in encountering problems with men’s basketball, as the report noted; if anything, its troubles reflect the struggles that many universities face in balancing academics and athletics.
