<p>Basketball is a disgrace at many schools. When I saw the graduation stats at the schools that are so big in basketball, I was appalled.</p>

<p>um, wow…thanks for posting…as an alumni, and an admissions rep, I knew that the Div I change would be interesting, but didn’t know how interesting until now…</p>

<p>agree with cpt…but for an academic school like Binghamton, this is really a paradigm shift…I happen to personally know many of the “Colonial” BBall players from the 70’s and 80’s…academically extremely successful…can’t imagine their reactions to this article…</p>

<p>interesting that the NYT thinks this is exclusive to Binghamton…they only mention other SUNY’s in this article…</p>

<p>Captain Renault: Oh, thank you very much.</p>
