EPILOGUE------Epilogue

This volume of Boise State athletic history ended with the conclu­ sion of the 1994 spring sports season. But, as they say, history knows no resting place. And so it is with the Broncos. The fall of 1994 saw the resurgence of Bronco football after the first two consecutive losing seasons since the 1940s. In one of the biggest Celebrating the Bronco victory over Idaho. win-loss reversals in Division 1- AA history, Coach Pokey Allen's Broncos turned 1993's 3-8 record into a sparkling l 0-l and BSU's first Big Sky title since 1980. The season was capped by a long-awaited win against the University of Idaho and a berth in the national playoffs. It was a season of close calls. Several games went down to the wire, and two- against Weber State and Eastern Washington -ended with successful Bronco goal line stands. The season also saw the Broncos put to­ gether three of their best games in years - 37-27 against Ne­ vada, 38-14 against Montana, ranked No. l at the time, and 27-24 against Idaho, a game that ended "The Streak" of 12 con­ secutive Vandal wins and decided the conference title. Only a last­ minute touchdown by Idaho State kept the Broncos from a perfect season. Offensive coordinator AI Borges assembled a powerful offense that balanced the running talents of K.C.

Boise State's Broncos are going West in a big way. In a watershed decision that will set the tone of BSU athletics for years, the Idaho State Board of Education in September authorized BSU's request to move to Division 1-A football. BSU then accepted an invitation to join the Big West Conference, thus ending its 24-year affiliation with the Big Sky following the 1996 spring sports season. BSU's new conference stretches from urban California to the plains of Texas. The Broncos' football rivals beginning with the 1996 season will include six conference members: Pacific, New Mexico State, Utah State, Nevada, University of Idaho and North Texas. In basketball, those schools will be joined by UC-Santa Barbara, Cal State-Fullerton, Cal State-Long Beach, UC-Irvine and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. The future Three Conferences status of football-only members Louisiana Tech, Southwest Louisiana, The Big West is only the third Northern Illinois and Arkansas State is uncertain, while current Big West athletic conference that the Broncos members Nevada-Las Vegas and San jose State will move to the Western have belonged to in football. The Athletic Conference by 1996. first (1947-67) was the Intermountain The next step in the evolution of the program is the expansion of Collegiate Athletic Conference, Bronco Stadium. A committee has been established to assist in raising which included junior colleges in the funds needed to round the four corners of the stadium, which would Idaho and Utah. In 1970 the add 3,000 seats per corner for a total capacity of 36,000.

Gymnas­ tics, which currently isn't in a conference, was accepted for member­ ship beginning this year. BSU doesn't participate in two Big West men's sports- swimming and baseball. The Big West also sponsors women's soccer, swimming and softball, all sports that offer potential expansion for BSU's women's program. Given the California flavor of the conference, the Big West is especially strong in tennis, golf and volleyball. Since 1985, Big West teams have won four national volleyball titles and finished second three times. Baseball teams have gone to the College World Series seven straight times, and last year the conference produced first-team All­ Americans in football, softball and two in volleyball.

he BSU Athletic Hall of Fame, r established in 1982 to honor those who have made outstand­ ing contributions to the athletic program, capped the athletic department's participation in the school's 50th anniversary cel­ ebration. Former NBA star Gus Johnson ioined the Hall of Fame in 1987. By Michael Virden The concept quickly became part of the Bronco athletic tradition. The inductees are honored at a public banquet and introduced at halftime of a football or basketball game. At the banquet, a video of the accomplishments of each new member and an introduction by his or her respective sponsor highlight the evening. Each inductee addresses the banquet audience. The Hall of Fame Committee selects the athletes from names submitted by fans, boosters, former teammates and coaches. The committee, as decreed in the bylaws, includes the university president or his appointee, the athletic director, the director of women's athletics, the executive director of the Alumni Association, the faculty athletic representative, one faculty member appointed for a two-year term by the Athletic Review and Advisory Board, two media representatives to serve staggered two-year terms and appointed by the athletic director, and two Bronco Athletic Association members to serve two-year stag­ gered terms and appointed by the board of directors. Non-voting members are the sports information director and others appointed by the president or director of athletics. The Hall of Fame Committee, chaired by the athletic director, accepts nominations for new Hall of Fame members at its first spring meeting. The nominating committee consists of four voting members named by the athletic director. That committee prepares a list of not less than three nominees from names submitted to the athletic depart­ ment by january I each year. Anyone can nominate an individual for the Hall of Fame. Five years must elapse after receipt of a bachelor's degree before an athlete can be nominated. A person who has not qualified for a degree requires the approval of at least seven voting members of the Hall of Fame Committee and must wait until five years have elapsed since he or she normally would receive a degree before being nominated. Student-athletes who win a national title earn automatic entry into the Hall of Fame. Under extraordinary circumstances, nominees may include coaches, trainers and others who have made an outstanding contribution to varsity athletics at Boise State. Members of the Hall of

Fame Committee remain ineligible for admittance during their tenure on the committee. The sports information director prepares biographical sketches detailing the accomplishments of the nominees. Committee members receive the profiles two weeks before the second meeting. Membership requires seven or more votes of the Hall of Fame Committee. Discussion and a formal written vote for each nominee finalizes the process. Finally, the committee makes arrangements for the induction of the new members into the Hall of Fame. The first Hall of Fame Committee selected nine inductees. Eight of the nine represented the Bronco football program. Today, 59 members have their portraits on the Hall of Fame wall in the Varsity Center. Nearly 55 percent of the inductees come from football. That program has contributed 31 members to the Hall of Fame including coaches, players and two national championship teams. The wrestling program has placed six members, and basketball five. Two women basketball players and a track star represent women student-athletes. Men's track and baseball have two members, and tennis has one. Three inductees won national titles-a ski champion, a hurdler and a high-jump titlist. Two university presidents and a team physician are among the non­ athletes in the Hall of Fame.
