Sources: Marquette to promote Broeker to be 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 deputy athletic director for the last 18 years and also serves as the athletic department’s COO.

He first joined the athletic department’s media relations team in 2003 after four years at the NBA, working his way up to the No. 2 position in the athletic department with oversight of the men’s basketball program.

During Broeker’s time at the school, the men’s basketball team has won two Big East regular-season championships and advanced past the first weekend of the NCAA tournament on four occasions.

Broeker will replace Bill Scholl, who announced in May 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.
