The '''State University of New York at Binghamton''' Bearcats compete as members of the [[America East Conference]] in [[NCAA Division I]] basketball.  The school has no football team.  Binghamton is a public institution located in the Southern Tier city of Binghamton, New York.  The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 11,000.  The teams were formerly known as the Colonials prior to the school's move to Division I.  The school, founded in 1946, was originally a branch of [[Syracuse|Syracuse University]] and known as Triple Cities College.  In 1950, the school separated from Syracuse and was brought into the SUNY system as Harpur College; it became SUNY-Binghamton in 1965.  Though SUNY at Binghamton remains its official designation, in common parlance the school is referred to simply as Binghamton University.

The campus is located on the southwest side of the city, near the junction of NY-201 (CFJ Memorial Highway) and NY-434 (Vestal Parkway); campus is about a mile south of I-86 from exit 70.  The Events Center (5,300) hosted the America East Men's Basketball Tournament in 2005, 2006, and 2008, and the Women's tournament in 2007.

Binghamton's chief rival is [[Albany]].

Binghamton has yet to place a player in the NBA.  Sadly, aside from its one tournament appearance, the school's athletic program is probably best known for a series of player misconduct issues involving members of that tournament team in 2009 which led to several dismissals from the program and the head coach being placed on administrative leave.
