Platform connects businesses to help drive growth, and strengthen communityÂ
BOISE, Idaho – Boise State Athletics has launched the Built Different Network, a business association that connects members through a platform designed to boost revenue, increase visibility, and create community impact for Idaho companies in support of driving competitive excellence for all 18 Bronco sport programs in the new era of revenue-sharing.
"With the success of the Built Different Initiative and launch of BroncoPRO, creating the Built Different Network and offering more value was the natural next step," said Jeramiah Dickey, Boise State Director of Athletics. "The Built Different Network will provide a unique framework for businesses to connect and grow while supporting the Broncos as the revenue model of college athletics continues to evolve. With tailored membership experiences, a menu of benefits and access to strategic partnerships, the Built Different Network is designed to help businesses of any size succeed."
The Built Different Network is an outcome of the Built Different Initiative, a fundraising effort led by Boise State head football coach Spencer Danielson and the Bronco Athletic Association (BAA) team, to reach out to local businesses and community partners interested in supporting Boise State through the transformational shift in college athletics as a result of the House Settlement.
The Built Different Network is an innovative approach to strengthen connections and provide valuable resources that can help companies drive cost efficiencies and support long-term financial sustainability among thousands of Bronco supporters. A preliminary menu of services includes but is not limited to the following.
- Grow business
- Find cost saving opportunities for companies
- Business networking opportunities
- Assistance with filling vacant positions
- Business marketing assets
- Philanthropic support and benefits
- Mentorship of student-athletes
- Access to tickets to sporting events and special experiences
Dickey added, "As the front porch of Idaho, we are proud to leverage the reach of our brand to bring together like-minded leaders to impact sustainable excellence in years to come."
Businesses that sign up and join will receive an exclusive invitation to the Built Different Launch event, along with complimentary offerings for attendees. The launch event will bring together Bronco Athletics leadership, business executives, and community champions for an evening dedicated to building connections, celebrating excellence, and driving meaningful impact.
