Sources: Marquette expected to promote Mike Broeker to AD


Marquette is expected to promote Mike Broeker to athletic director, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Monday.

Broeker has been the school's assistant athletic director for the past 18 years and also serves as the athletic department's director of operations.

He first joined the athletics department's media relations team in 2003, after four years in the NBA, and rose to the No. 2 position in the athletics department with oversight of the men's basketball program.

During Broeker's time at the school, the men's basketball team won two Big East regular season championships and advanced beyond the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament four times.

Broeker will replace Bill Scholl, who announced in May that he planned to retire as soon as the school finds his successor. Scholl took over in 2014 and made the program-changing hire of Shaka Smart in 2021; Smart led the Golden Eagles to a Big East regular-season title in 2023 and a Sweet 16 appearance last season.

Marquette paused its athletic director search last summer following the death of school president Michael Lovell, who died in June after being treated for cancer.
