Bernie Fine’s status with the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity is unclear after he was fired from his coaching job Sunday night.

Fine was removed from his post as associate head coach of the men’s basketball team Sunday night by Chancellor Nancy Cantor. His dismissal comes after the Syracuse Police Department launched an investigation into allegations that Fine molested two former ball boys and another youth. Fine was placed on administrative leave Nov. 17 after the investigation began.

Robert Atkins, the prior of the Eta chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu at Syracuse University and a senior in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, declined to comment on anything related to the Fine case. Atkins said in an email that neither he nor other members of Sammy, undergraduates or alumni, would comment on the issue. Fine is still listed as the adviser on the fraternity’s website.

Eddie Banks-Crosson, director of fraternity and sorority affairs, was not available to comment Sunday night.
