The Binghamton University basketball scandal was an incident in the United States that arose out of concerns that Binghamton University had compromised its integrity in order to make the Bearcats men's basketball program more competitive in Division I. Following a series of incidents in the fall of 2009, an investigation by the State University of New York (SUNY), Binghamton's parent institution, found that Binghamton's administration had significantly lowered its admissions standards for prospective recruits under pressure from men's head coach Kevin Broadus and his staff. It also detailed several potential NCAA violations by Broadus and his staff.
