Central Michigan University has placed men's basketball head coach Andy Bronkema on administrative leave just days after the team's season opener, according to a report by USA TODAY Sports.

The announcement came on Friday, November 6, 2026, though the university has not publicly disclosed the specific reasons for the leave. Bronkema coached the team's first game of the 2026-27 season earlier this week.

Central Michigan athletic department officials have not provided a timeline for Bronkema's potential return or named an interim replacement.
