On Oct. 14 the scandal deepened when Broadus was placed on paid leave from his $217,000-per-year job for NCAA recruiting violations. The violations, self-reported by the school, alleged that Broadus had improper contact with two recruits. Assistant coach Mark Macon, a former NBA and Temple University player, replaced Broadus as head coach.
Kaye issued a preliminary report to the SUNY Board of Trustees on Tuesday, Oct. 20. James Van Voorst, the vice president for administration at Binghamton, said in an e-mail, "We are working closely with Judge Kaye and her team to ensure that they have the resources, documents and information they need to conduct this audit in a comprehensive, thorough and timely manner."
The report has not been made available to the public and several members of the Binghamton athletic department - including Norris and John Hartrick, the associate director of athletics for communications - did not return several phone calls requesting comment.
According to a report by the Associated Press from Oct. 20, the SUNY Board of Trustees Chairman Carl Hayden said that because of Zimpher's immediate action, the NCAA and the America East Conference have agreed not to start their own investigations at this time. The report also stated that Zimpher had ordered that all records be protected from destruction in order to aid Kaye's investigation.
