Wisconsin interim athletic director Marcus Sedberry told the Associated Press he isn’t sure how long he will be in his interim role, but that he’s also not thinking too much about it.
Sedberry took over after Chris McIntosh left the position.
“I don’t have a clear picture there, and if I’m honest with you, it is better for me to focus on the here and the now,” Sedberry said during a media session Thursday. “What I know is I have, let’s call it 900 people who are looking for a leader to lead them right now. Whether that’s going to be three months, a year, whatever that’s going to be, it’d be challenging trying to live in the what ifs and uncertainty of what that is.”
Sedberry was named interim athletic director on April 13 after McIntosh accepted a role as the Big Ten’s deputy commissioner for strategy. McIntosh had been Wisconsin’s athletic director since the summer of 2021.
Sedberry had been working as Wisconsin’s deputy athletic director/chief operating officer since 2022.
Eric Wilcots, Wisconsin’s interim chancellor-designate, is leading the search for a permanent successor.
Sedberry has worked as a senior associate athletics director at Baylor and worked at Arkansas and Central Florida as well as with the Philadelphia Eagles.
