🏈 3️⃣ Days ‘Til Football
🏐 A Look at the Bronco Liberos
🗣 New Partnership With TheLinkU
🔷 And much, much more!

🔼 Three Sleeps ‘Til Football. Listen to what Coach Danielson had to say in his latest press conference!

And when it comes to taking a break from the grind to have some fun, it can be a slippery slope… 👇🏼

🔼 The Missing Link. Boise State Athletics has entered into a strategic partnership with TheLinkU, a national leader in revenue solutions for college athletics. TheLinkU will introduce fresh and diverse revenue opportunities for Boise State, leveraging its extensive portfolio of more than 30 business partners. This approach maximizes funding, drives cost efficiencies, and supports long-term financial sustainability for the university in the post-House Settlement era.

"This partnership empowers us to think differently as we raise the bar for our department and our student-athletes during a transformative time in college athletics." - Jeramiah Dickey, Director of Athletics

🔼 The Bre + Bella Show. This look at the libero position is the final submission of a four-part series featuring the Boise State volleyball team in a season preview of each position. The libero anchors the back line and organizes the team's defensive efforts on the court. The Broncos have two student-athletes returning from 2024 with extensive experience in Bre Mitchell and Bella McGirr.

"The libero needs to know a little bit more than everybody else about what we need to do with our service receive, taking enough court that they can make the people around them better,” said head coach Shawn Garus.

The libero position is the most experienced for the Broncos right now. Both Mitchell, a senior, and McGirr, a redshirt-junior, will be major contributors this season.
