The Marquette Golden Eagles are the athletic teams representing Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. They compete as a member of the NCAA Division I level (non-football sub-level), primarily competing in the Big East Conference for all sports since its establishment in 2013. The Golden Eagles are a founding member of the current Big East, having been one of the seven members of the original Big East that broke away to form a basketball-focused league. They had joined the original Big East in 2005, having previously competed in Conference USA (C-USA) from 1995-96 to 2004-05, the Great Midwest Conference from 1991-92 to 1994-95 and the Horizon League from 1988-89 to 1990-91.
The nickname change to "Golden Eagles" came in May 1994. In May 2005, the university changed the nickname to "Gold" but the decision was reversed after public backlash.
On December 15, 2012, Marquette and the other six Catholic, non-FBS Big East schools (the so-called "Catholic 7") announced that they were departing the Big East for a new conference. In March 2013, it was confirmed that the "Catholic 7," along with three other schools, would begin operations that July as a new Big East Conference.
The school's football program disbanded after the 1960 college football season.
