WE ARE THE “RAINBOW WARRIORS”
In 2013, the University of Hawai‘i changed its official nickname for men’s sports to “Rainbow Warriors.” Previously, the football team used the nickname “Warriors.” The school’s women’s teams are still referred to as “Rainbow Wahine.” The word “Wahine” (pronounced wah-HEE-nay) means woman in the Hawaiian language. All UH sports may also be referred to as “the ’Bows.” The rainbow has been part of UH’s nickname since 1923. Th e Rainbow Warriors perform the haka prior to each home game.

Q: Ever wondered what that punctuation mark in the word Hawai‘i is? A: In the Hawaiian language, it’s called an ‘okina, which translated literally in English means separator. Phonetically it is referred to as a glottal stop, similar to the sound that would be made in the English oh-oh. The ‘okina is actually a letter in the Hawaiian lan- guage and typed out looks like a backwards apostrophe. The practice of the UH Sports Media Relations office is to use the ‘okina in all Hawaiian words in which they occur.

THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN WEST From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, 86 while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW con- tinues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 16th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. Th e Mountain West has marked several achievements over its fi rst 15 years of existence, most notably becoming the fi rst to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (Th e Mtn.). Th e Mountain West also was the fi rst to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the fi rst non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to partici- pate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the fi rst conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the-art basketball instant replay system. Additionally, the Mountain West was the fi rst conference to have a member institu- tion with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With UNLV’s Anthony Bennett claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Mountain West is one of three conferences to have multiple No. 1 NBA draft selections since 2000. Also, with San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg earning the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. Th e pending changes in the NCAA governance structure set the table for an- other Conference fi rst, when two members of the MW Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) were included in the June 2014 meeting of the Mountain 60 West Board of Directors. New Mexico track and fi eld athlete Kendall Spencer, the national chair of the 2014-15 NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and Air Force Academy volleyball player Emma Dridge joined the BOD members in this historic meeting to advance the discussion on student- athlete involvement in the NCAA and MW governance structure. Th e Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders fi ve MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico and Utah State). Th e high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San José State add a West coast infl uence with their loca- tions in Central, Southern and Northern California. Th e inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacifi c Ocean, while the addition of the women’s soccer program at Colorado College gives the MW an additional presence in the Rocky Mountains.
HISTORY Th e Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, Craig Thompson Javan Hedlund BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a Commissioner Assoc. Commissioner new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference.

Th ree of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) MOUNTAIN WEST Quick Facts and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well.
