Good Morning, Bronco Nation 1/23: Built Different Motto in Action

The Built Different Campaign is a fundraising initiative in support of student-athletes to drive competitive excellence at a national level in a sustainable way at Boise State.

Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Following an unprecedented run to the College Football Playoff and a successful Fall 2024 semester for Boise State Athletics, the Broncos have launched the Built Different Campaign in support of student-athletes and programs. Boise State is preparing to share revenue with its athletes in 2025 as the pending House Settlement creates a transformational shift in the future of college athletics. 

Led by Boise State head football coach Spencer Danielson and the Bronco Athletic Association (BAA) team, the Built Different Campaign is a fundraising initiative to reach out to local businesses and community partners, in addition to current season ticket holders and BAA members interested in driving competitive excellence at a national level in a sustainable way at Boise State.

๐ŸŽ‰ TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 2019!

Boise State's streak of 13-straight weeks in the AP Poll is the longest since 2019, when it was featured in 16-consecutive polls. The highest year-end rankings in program history occurred in 2009, when Boise State secured the No. 4 spot in both polls.

โฎ ICYMI: Boise State was tabbed No. 8 in the final Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 9 in the final US LBM Coaches Pollโ€”the highest the Broncos have finished in either poll since 2011, when they were ranked No. 6 in the Coaches Poll and No. 8 by the AP.
