The Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1982 to celebrate the long legacy of exceptional performance and contributions by former Boise State and predecessor school student-athletes, coaches, teams, and distinguished contributors, and recognize the vital role of athletics within the culture of the school.

Former Bronco student-athletes must be removed for five years from earning their undergraduate degree from Boise State in order to be eligible for the Bronco Athletics Hall of Fame.

Boise State has inducted 18 classes since 1982. It was an annual event in the early years but slowed to every three years in the mid-1990s. The largest class was nine in the inaugural year. The first class included the 1958 junior college national championship football team, the 1980 Division I-AA national championship football team, football coaches Lyle Smith and Tony Knap, football stars Dave Wilcox, Jim McMillan, Edward Lodge and Larry Jackson and national champion skier Billy Shaw.
