BOISE, Idaho - Expanding on its recent announcement of a record-breaking fundraising year, Boise State Athletics published an annual report on the department's performance related to the What's Next Initiative during the 2022 fiscal year.

"I am really proud of everything our team accomplished over the past year," said director of athletics Jeramiah Dickey. "We are constantly planning for What's Next, but it is important to celebrate what we have done. The immense amount of progress is a direct result of our student-athletes, our coaches, our staff and our supporters. The willingness and ability to roll up your sleeves and get to work is not for everyone, but it's one of the defining characteristics of Broncos and it is a competitive advantage for us. That's why I know we're still just scratching the surface of what the future holds for Boise State Athletics and Bronco Nation."
