    June 26, 2020 Commissioner Tom Wistrcill Big Sky Conference 286 South, 200 West Suite 110 Farmington, UT 84025 Dear Commissioner Wistrcill, We are a consortium of advocates for women and girls in sports. Access to and participation in sports improves the lives of all students, and that is particularly true for girls and women. During this time of COVID-19, we are writing to remind you of your institutional obligation to uphold Title IX.1 We understand that these are trying times for collegiate institutions, including athletics departments. In response to financial pressures, we have become aware that some universities are considering program cuts to their athletic programs.2 As the commissioner of the 1 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681-1688. 2 Sallee, Barrett. “Group of Five Commissioners Ask NCAA to Relax Rules That Could Allow More Sports to Be Cut.” CBS Sports, April 15, 2020.

  • State Board Approves Big Sky Conference Invitation to University of Idaho Football Program
    Email: [email protected] www.boardofed.idaho.gov FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Blake Youde 208-332-1591 (office) May 18, 2016 208-696-9447 (cell) [email protected] STATE BOARD APPROVES BIG SKY CONFERENCE INVITATION TO UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO FOOTBALL PROGRAM (Boise). The Idaho State Board of Education unanimously approved an invitation from the Big Sky Conference to the University of Idaho Football program to become a conference member starting with the 2018 football season. All other University of Idaho athletic programs already compete in the Big Sky Conference. The University of Idaho (UI) will end its current membership in the Sun Belt Conference after the 2017 football season. In February 2016, the Sun Belt Commissioner informed UI that the conference had reached a decision to become a 10-team league beginning with the 2018 football season. As part of the Sun Belt Conference decision, the membership of UI and New Mexico State University will expire following the 2017 season. The Sun Belt Conference is a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Conference, and the Big Sky Conference is a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Conference. “The Board is pleased to accept this invitation from the Big Sky Conference. It makes sense for the University of Idaho” said Don Soltman, President of the Idaho State Board of Education. “All other UI sports are already in the Big Sky. This decision brings conference alignment and consistency to the university’s athletic program,” Soltman continued. The Board also saw an opportunity to renew football rivalries with universities in the Northwest, including Idaho State University, the University of Montana and Eastern Washington University, among others.

    BUSINESS AFFAIRS AND HUMAN RESOURCES AUGUST 17, 2012 UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO SUBJECT Request for authorization for independent scheduling of football games and for the President to explore and accept an invitation to the Big Sky Athletic conference . REFERENCE December 4-5, 2003 Board approval for President of BSU, or his designee, to make the final decision regarding pursuing and accepting an invitation to the Mountain West Athletic Conference. Also to authorize the President of the University of Idaho, or his designee, to make the final decision regarding pursuing and accepting an invitation to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). June 17-18, 2004 Report by the University of Idaho that an invitation to join the WAC had been received. August 15, 2012 Discussion of certain matters in executive session. APPLICABLE STATUTE, RULE, OR POLICY Idaho State Board of Education Governing Policies & Procedures, Section III.T (Intercollegiate Athletics). BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The University’s current conference, the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), is currently unable to support intercollegiate football after the end of the 2012-13 athletic season, with only two of the 4 current members (University of Idaho and New Mexico State) running football programs. As a result, the University is currently unaffiliated with a conference for football scheduling beyond the 2012- 13 football season. Institutions are currently engaged in scheduling football games for the 2013-14 season and beyond, and it is imperative that the University begin doing so as well in order to ensure a full schedule of games. Consequently, the University seeks authority to commence scheduling football games as an unaffiliated, independent Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institution.
