Why ELRepo cannot provide Broadcom drivers is explained in this CentOS wiki:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom

"NOTE: Due to an excessively restrictive license accompanying this
Broadcom driver, the ELRepo repository developers have refrained from
supplying it via an rpm package"

It is unfortunate but hopefully you can build the driver by following
the instructions in there.
