In an effort to continue the climb in competition, Boise State has outlined a plan to improve the infrastructure and fi nancial position of its athletic department. The project is called the Initiative for Athletic Excellence. It is a detailed plan that lays out the direction for the department and its facilities to ensure the Broncos continued growth and success.

In the last 12 years Boise States growth has led to the addition of womens soccer in 1998. In 2006-07 womens swimming & diving joined the family followed by softball in 2008-09. In recent years Boise State has built four competition facilities: the state-of-the-art Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center (2002), the Boas Soccer and Tennis Complex (2003), Jacksons Indoor Track (2003 - a joint effort with the city of Nampa) and the Mountain Cove Softball Complex (2008). In January of 2006 the Caven-Williams Sports Complex, a 97,000 square-foot indoor practice facility, was opened next to Bronco Stadium. The Boas Indoor Tennis Center also underwent signifi cant renovation with the replacement of the bubbles. The latest project is the Stueckle Sky Center expansion to Bronco Stadium which was fi nished in 2008. The stadium project includes a new press box, luxury suites, banquet halls, new ticket offi ce, a Bronco Shop, and much more. Seating capacity for football games increased to 33,500.

Other future projects include a 10,000-square foot locker room facility and lounges for the men's and women's basketball teams; a new outdoor track stadium and practice area; an updated Peterson PRECO Learning Center; a new home for the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame; and expansion of Bronco Stadium.

In the past six seasons, the WAC has sent a total of 22 teams to bowl games (12-10). Boise State has won 76 games since joining the conference, the most in the nation during that time span (2001-07). For the second year in a row, the WAC sent a team to a BCS bowl game as Hawaii earned a Nokia Sugar Bowl bid this past season following Boise States unforgettable victory in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In mens basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the past 25 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In womens sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but two.

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nations 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.

Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in mens sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the fi rst in which both men and women competed under the WAC name.

Currently the WAC membership consists of Hawaii which joined in 1979, Fresno State (1992), San Jose State (1996), Nevada (2000), Boise State and Louisiana Tech (2001), and Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State (2005).

Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports eight mens and 11 womens. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and fi eld and outdoor track and fi eld. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld and volleyball.

The WAC offi ce has been located in the Denver area since the conferences inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

WRESTLING

The Western Athletic Conference does not sponsor competition for the sport of wrestling. As a result, the Bronco wrestling program is entering its 22nd season as an associate member of the Pacifi c-10 Conference for wrestling.

When Karl Benson was named the fi fth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position.

Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WACs future, he also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC.

Through his leadership and vision, it didnt take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nations top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho joining the league a few years ago.

Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a fi ve-year term on the NCAA Mens Basketball Committee from 2002-06.

Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conferences national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Roadys Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawaii Bowl and New Mexico Bowl.

In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecasts of basketball and football. Included in that deal was a womens basketball contract, the

fi rst in conference history. Currently, a second agreement with ESPN and ABC has resulted in 80 football games being televised over the past fi ve years.

Benson came to the WAC after four successful years as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl.

Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships.

Benson joined the NCAA staff in January of 1986 as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships.

A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed coursework toward his masters degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah.

Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletic department at Utah.

He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, 17.

COACH SOCHAS PHILOSOPHY

Head strength and conditioning coach Tim Sochas philosophy is that student-athletes are not only going to train hard, but that they are going to do the correct exercises that help them excel in their sport. The staff uses variation in the training programs to enhance the student-athletes ability to adapt and improve. The variation involves both multi-joint and multi-plane training. Flexibility, core strength and proprioceptive training also is included in all programs.

Under Gene Bleymaiers leadership, Boise State Universitys Department of Athletics has scaled impressive and unprecedented heights with the accomplishments of its student-athletes, the successes of its teams, the growth of its facilities, the support of its community, and the advancement of its status among the nations premier athletic programs.

Bleymaier is in his 30th year at Boise State. He joined the Athletic Department in 1981 and became the Broncos AD in February of 1982. He is the second longest tenured athletic director in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

The 2009-10 Bronco athletic season was another banner year and led to Bleymaier being one of fi ve nominees for the Street and Smiths Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily Athletic Director of the Year. Bleymaier was the only nominee from a non-Bowl Championship Series conference school. In June 2008 Bleymaier received the Astro Turf Athletic Director of the Year Award.

This past year Boise State captured four Western Athletic Conference Championships (football, soccer, womens tennis and swimming & diving) and fi nished the 2009-10 season winning the WAC Commissioners Cup. Four teams completed their seasons ranked in the top 20 which led to a 60th place fi nish in the Learfi eld Sports Directors Cup.

Boise State also excelled in the classroom this past year with six Bronco teams leading the WAC in the annual NCAA Academic Program Reports. The football team also posted the 4th highest APR score for schools competing in 2009 postseason bowl games.

Bleymaier is currently the WACs representative to the BCS. In 1997 Bleymaier led the effort to create the Humanitarian Bowl now called the Udrove Humanitarian Bowl and he continues to serve on the board of directors for the annual postseason football game. He served a four-year term as the WAC representative on the

NCAA Division I Management Council and is also past president and vice president of the NCAA I-AA Athletic Directors Association. He is also a member of the Boise-based World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame board of directors.

Under Bleymaiers guidance, Boise States football program has grown spectacularly and gained national attention since it joined the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) ranks in 1996. Competing at the highest collegiate level, Boise State has put itself on the national map with as the winningest football program among FBS programs the past 10 years (2000-09). Boise State has the best overall record (112-17, .868%), the best winning percentage for conference games (73-4, .948%), the best home record (63-2 .969%), and has been the highest-scoring team in the nation since 2000 (41.40 points per game).

The Bronco football team ended the season undefeated (14-0) with a victory over TCU in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and a No. 4 national ranking.

In 1986 Bleymaier was responsible for the installation of the artifi cial blue turf in Bronco Stadium, which has become one of the most recognizable sports venues in America and the city of Boises most famous landmark.

In 1996 he led Boise States move to FBS as a member of the Big West Conference, and in 2001 he guided the Bronco Athletic Departments transfer to its current membership in the WAC. Boise State will move to its third FBS league in 2011-12 when the Broncos become members of the Mountain West Conference.

Since joining the WAC in 2001, Boise State has won 27 conference championships, including seven in football.

Prior to joining the WAC, Boise State won 15 team titles as a member of the Big West Conference and 33 overall league championships in the Big Sky Conference from 1982-1995, all under the guidance Bleymaier.

Boise State sponsors 19 intercollegiate sports eight for men and 11 for women. All teams compete in the WAC with the exception of wrestling (Pac-10).

Behind Bleymaiers guidance, Boise State student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom. During the 2009-10 academic year, 151 Bronco student-athletes received conference all-academic honors. Following the spring 2010 semester, Bronco student-athletes posted the sixth straight semester the overall athletic departments grade-point-average was 3.00 or higher. Fifty-eight (58) percent of all

student-athletes earned a 3.0 or better GPA for the spring 2010 semester

While Boise State has enjoyed unprecedented success on the playing fi elds, courts and in the classroom, it has also drastically improved its facilities under Bleymaiers direction.

In August of 2008 the most expensive capital project in the history of Bronco athletics opened with the $36 million Stueckle Sky Center which includes a state-of-the-art press box, suites, loge boxes and club seats. Plans are currently in the design phase for another major expansion to Bronco Stadium in the near future.

On August 1, 2009 Boise State officially acquired control of the 15.5-acre East Junior High School site from the Boise School District with plans to build future athletic facilities there. Located just northeast of the main campus, the fi rst project planned will be to move Ed Jacoby Track from Bronco Stadium and build a new track and fi eld facility.

The newest facility will break ground in the fall of 2010 when construction begins on a new mens and womens basketball locker room complex at Taco Bell Arena. Completion of the state-of-art facility is expected in the late spring of 2011.

Recent additions the past four years include the Caven-Williams Sports Complex, a $9.5 million indoor practice facility that includes a full size football field and the Keith and Catherine Stein Band Hall, and the Mountain Cove Softball Field.

Other capital projects completed during Bleymaiers tenure include the Boas Tennis/Soccer Center, a 1997 expansion of Bronco Stadium, the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery, the Williams Plaza, the Peterson-Preco Learning Center, the Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center, the Jackson Indoor Track, the Idaho Sports Medicine Institute, the Bronco Football Center, the gymnastics room expansion, the Simplot Center for Athletic Excellence, the Fedrizzi Fitness Center expansion, and an expansion of the Nicholson-Yanke Center.

Bleymaier lettered in football and was named to the All-Pac 8 Conference third team as a tight end for the Bruins. He was the recipient of the UCLA Outstanding Senior Award and was active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Bleymaier graduated from Borah High School in Boise. Bleymaier and his wife, Danell, have four children Maribeth, Joe, Claire and Tom.
