• Albany’s Time Union has a story by a UAlbany professor on the rules for college athletics, academics to co-exist.  Instead of providing rules, the prof provides a paragraph about how the university system would be better if everyone should go back to DIII athletics.  Obviously, Mr. Svare argument has more holes than Swiss cheese, but more of the same type of sentiment (hopefully articulated better) should be expected before Binghamton can put this whole thing behind them.
• Elmira Star-Gazette’s editorial is on the lack of answers so far in the investigation.  It calls for BU to start opening up before Kaye’s initial report on Tuesday.
• The Press & Sun Bulletin has an article on State Sentor Tom Libous disappointment with the Binghamton athletic program. Libous was responsible for funding the Event Center.  However, he still will be attending games this season, citing the important economic power of BU in the Southern Tier.
• Mid-Major Madness has a post on who should be blamed at Binghamton.  Their conclusion:  Blame Broadus, but Thirer and DeFluer need to go down as well.

On to the headlines:

• Judge Judith Kayes will issue her first report on Binghamton’s athletic program on Tuesday.  President DeFleur confirms that Kayes had conversations with university officials this week.
• Last Night’s Late Night Maddness event marks the beginning of the Mark Macon era.  NCAA permitted open tryouts will be held today and tomorrow to add to the current roster of 10.
• Beginning of the era was not without its own WTF moment:  Tiki Mayben was present at Late Night Madness.  During the event, players and Macon threw shirts to Mayben, who was sitting in the crowd.   Sign of support or more bad press to come.
