Binghamton Chancellor Nancy Zimpher issued the order this week as part of an investigation headed by former state Chief Judge Judith Kaye, who has been given wide latitude.
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.
Hayden said there would be no "artificial time constraints" on Kaye's investigation, which is now focusing on developing a witness list.
"The investigation is going to proceed without there being any kind of restraints from us," Hayden said, referring to the SUNY Board of Trustees. "It will go where the evidence takes it. It will deal with the integrity of the basketball program, but the charge is sufficiently broad to permit Judge Kaye and her colleagues to look into anything which by implication flows from the facts that are found here."
Here's coverage from our friends at WBNG-TV
Candace Chapman got the pleasure of reading this VO-SOT...
The chain of events that triggered the probe began in February after a newspaper report raised questions about the character of players coach Kevin Broadus had recruited to the basketball program.
Also on Tuesday, the SUNY Board's Executive Committee unanimously supported the hiring of Monica Rimai as its new chief operating officer and senior vice chancellor.
She had been the interim president at the University at Cincinnati since Zimpher left earlier this year.
Those of us at OSG HQ would like for you to remember where Zimpher and Rimai came from before they were in Binghamton...
Cincinnati...and neither took any crap from Bob Huggins...
You think Broadus will have a job when all this is done...???
