The Boise State Broncos are the official athletic program of Boise State University. The Broncos compete in a wide variety of sports as members of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Mountain West Conference (MWC). The Broncos have a successful athletic program overall, winning the WAC commissioner's cup for the 2005–06 and 2009–10 years. Boise State joined the MWC in 2011.
Perhaps the most well-known of these sports is the football program. The program attained a 13–0 season in 2006 capped by an overtime win in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners. They finished the season as the only major undefeated college football team. The Bronco football team has gone on to win the Fiesta Bowl two more times in the 2009 and 2014 seasons. The school's football stadium, Bronco Stadium, introduced its famous blue artificial turf (now FieldTurf) in 1986.
Other notable sports teams include the Wrestling team, which competes in the Pac-12 Conference (the MWC is a non-wrestling conference), the nationally-ranked women's gymnastics team, which competes in the Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference, the men's and women's basketball team, and the tennis teams which have consistently had nationally ranked players.
Boise State University sponsors teams in eight men's and twelve women's NCAA sanctioned sports:
