Marquette Athletics is still seeking a facility and coach for its esports program, athletic director Bill Scholl told the Marquette Wire.
Scholl said acquiring the facility remains the top priority. The preference is to refurbish an existing space on campus rather than building a new facility.
Senior associate athletic director Scott Kuykendall said the goal is to complete the space by the start of the League of Legends season in January.
The athletic department is seeking corporate partnerships and contributions from donors to pay for the facility.
Learfield IMG College and Chicago-based marketing agencyIntersport and Learfield IMG College are helping Marquette pursue those partnerships.
