Binghamton Athletics Director Resigns After Basketball Program Unravels
The athletics director at Binghamton University has resigned less than a week after six athletes on the university's men's basketball team were thrown off the team, The New York Times reports. One of the five was the team's star point guard, Emanuel Mayben, who was arrested last week on charges of possessing crack cocaine. The athletics director, Joel Thirer, was reassigned to the provost's office on the campus, part of the State University of New York, and Binghamton's president, Lois DeFleur, announced an external audit of the athletics program.

And the coach, the person closest to the team members - What is his status?

OH...this would not have anything to do with the adjunct faculty person who refused to change grades for athletes and then subsequently has lost her job, now would it?
So much for our educational institutions trying to teach and promote integrity and honesty and character in our young people these days.....
Now they have a huge amount of damage control to do.

Teach and promote integrity? Binghamton University? Are you kidding? If you want a lesson in how to butcher integrity, yes, its available at BU. If you want a lesson in how to lie effectively simply spend some time with the most successful people at that place. Administrators would be a place to start. No need to pay for credits, an education can be had simply by studying the developmental progression of nastiness and dishonesty by watching new hires with a passion for research-dedication to teaching evolve into cold cutthroat nasty survivors carefully sharpening their Spears in search of the next back. Anyone considering a job there should do some careful research. Anyone who has ever left has thanked god to be out of there.
