	SUNY at Binghamton 2016 University Academic Rankings
The Binghamton Bearcats are an NCAA Division I athletics program at Binghamton University. They are one of four Division I programs in the SUNY system and a member of the America East Conference. In three sports not sponsored by the America East, Binghamton has separate conference memberships. The men's golf team is a member of the Big Sky Conference effective with the 2014-15 school year, the men's tennis team is a member of the Mid-American Conference as of 2014-15, and the wrestling team competes in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association. History Binghamton has competed in the NCAA since joining the SUNY system in 1950. During the 1946-1950 era, there were no particular affiliations or mascots. When, in fact, they joined SUNY and adopted the new name Harpur College, the school also adopted their first mascot: a donkey named Harpo. In transitioning to SUNY Binghamton, they also developed their athletics program further, adopting the new school nickname and mascot: The red, white, and blue Colonials. With the impending move to Division I, the school adopted the new nickname, the Bearcats, beginning with the 1999-2000 school year. The mascot, Baxter the Bearcat, was unveiled in the fall of 1999. In the fall of 2001, Binghamton athletics formally entered the NCAA Division I and also became a member of the America East Conference in all sports other than wrestling and golf, which is not sponsored by the America East Conference. The wrestling program actually preceded the jump to Division I by becoming a provisional member of the now-defunct East Coast Wrestling Association beginning with the 1999-2000 season. They made the transition from a Division III school to Division II for three years and then entered Division I. Binghamton has 21 intercollegiate sports. Binghamton's wrestling team is a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association since the America East does not sponsor wrestling. Former Director of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics, Dr. Joel Thirer oversaw the transition from NCAA Division III to NCAA Division II to NCAA Division I. Hired in 1989, Dr. Thirer resigned on September 30, 2009, amid controversy surrounding the Men's Basketball program. More recently, the university has hosted a number of conference championships, including the 2005, 2006 and 2008 men's basketball championships, as well as, other championships from other sports. In a Sept. 29, 2009 statement, Jim Norris had been named Interim Athletic Director. The Director of Athletics reports directly to the current interim President McGraff. Teams \| Recent accomplishments The 2008-09 Men's Basketball team won the America East regular season title. The team has had its best season in history and earned its first post-season berth in history, as well as, after defeating UMBC in the America East Tournament Final 61-51, their first ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance. Rory Quiller became the first Binghamton athlete to win a Division 1 National Championship in 2008. His pole vault of 18-0Â½ was good enough to take first place at NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. He became the first America East athlete to win a National Championship and received his third All- American honors. He is now pursuing 2008 Summer Olympics. Rory Quiller won the 2007 NCAA East Outdoor Track pole vault Championships with a new conference and Binghamton University record (18' 1"). This victory was followed by placing 4th at the NCAA Championships. He was the first Binghamton athlete to earn All-American honors twice. The Men's Soccer team played their first game in the new Bearcat Sports Complex against Cornell. They came to a 3-0 victory in front of a record crowd of over 1,800 people.
