Boise State University Athletics
The Boise State Broncos compete in the Western Athletic Conference, Division I-A of the NCAA. Intercollegiate sports include football, gymnastics, soccer, and men’s and women’s basketball, cross country, and golf. Women’s skiing is also offered.
Football is definitely the sport of choice for many Broncos fans, and with good reason. Most recently the Broncos went 11-1 overall in 2004 and 8-0 in the WAC in 2004, placing them first in that conference. Over the last four years coach Dan Hawkins has achieved an impressive 44-7 record. Unfortunately for the Broncos their impressive season was cut short in 2004 when they lost to Louisville 44-40 in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
Nearly as exciting as the 2004 football season is Boise States Initiative for Athletic Excellence, a massive fundraising campaign to improve their already impressive athletic facilities. Over the next few years Boise State plans to expand Bronco Stadium, include and indoor practice facility and outdoor track facility, and build a beautiful new luxury suite/press box complex.
