Broadus Cites Racism In Binghamton Complaint

((HT: WBNG-TV Binghamton NY))

Binghamton University Men's Basketball Coach says racism is the reason behind his suspension. Kevin Broadus has now filed a formal complaint against the University with the New York State Division of Human Rights.

The coach was put on paid suspension in October after admitting to improper contact with a recruit.

The complaint filed by Broadus says "I am African-American. I have been subject to unlawful discriminatory actions." He goes on to say "the most important component is I am the only person of color who is a head coach. This department is made up of all European persons."

A university spokeswoman says the college is aware of the complaint, and says it will fully cooperate as the Division of Human Rights looks into the matter.

The Division says it will render a decision within 200 days. The complaint itself can be read on Broadus' website...

Erik Columbia caught up with Broadus' attorney and his attempt to spin the ludicrousness of this whole thing...
