gameday at falcon stadium
After every Falcon score, the cadets storm the field and do pushups for every Air Force point on the board. After every game, the Falcons stand hand-in-hand in front of the cadet wing as the Drum and Bugle Corps plays the alma mater. Prior to every service academy game, the “prisoners of war� are exchanged at midfield. The POWs are exchange cadets from the other academies who sit with their respective academies during the game.

gameday at falcon stadium At the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, game day at Falcon Stadium is truly a remarkable experience. Pre-game fly-bys, the march-on, the Drum and Bugle Corps and the spirited cadet section, make Falcon Stadium the place to be on Game Day

Brian Bullard Award
Senior inside linebacker Grant Ross led the Falcons with 97 tackles, an average of 9.5 per game. He also led the team with 9.5 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles. Ross led the Falcons in tackles the last four games of the season, including nine tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in the win over Utah State in the season finale.
The Bullard Award is voted on by the team based on the criteria that typifies Brian Bullard - unselfishness, 110 percent effort, total team commitment and pride in his role on the team whether he’s a starter or not. A memorial is located in the Falcon Athletic Center so that every football player sees it every day. The memorial has Brian’s picture and the name and photo of each year’s winner. A 1982 graduate of Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, Brian attended the Academy the following year. After playing on the junior varsity his freshman year, he made the varsity and lettered as a sophomore in 1983. During Thanksgiving vacation that year, Brian, a member of Cadet Squadron 27, and cadet Dianne Williams of Cameron, Mo., were returning from Kansas and were caught in a snow storm. The two died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Williams was a member of Cadet Squadron 33 and played on the women’s varsity golf team. The Brian Bullard award is presented annually at the Falcon football team banquet. Brian was the epitome of everything Air Force Football stands for. Brian’s life is used not only for motivation, but as the benchmark each Falcon football player should strive to attain. The criteria established for the award were taken directly from the life of Brian Bullard. The recipient of this prestigious award cares about the team first and himself second. He loves his team and his teammates and will do everything he can to make his brothers better. He is a source of encouragement for everyone and truly leads by example. He gives his all and truly enjoys every practice. He shows great pride in his role on the team and is a pleasure to coach. Though he played just two seasons with the football team, Brian left quite an impression.

In 2005, he became the third USAFA graduate to play in a Super Bowl as the Seahawks won the NFC Championship. He played in 90 career games and had 222 tackles, six forced fumbles and 26.5 sacks. Chad Hall, (top right) a 2008 graduate, served two years on active duty and is completing his commitment in the Air Force reserves. In two seasons with the Eagles in 2010 and 2011, the receiver played in 15 games with 14 catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns.

human performance lab
Ben Garland, a 2010 Academy graduate and four-year letterwinner on the defensive line, working out in the newly-remodeled human performance lab. Garland as played in 40 career NFL games and is currently a member of the Atlanta Falcons. The Human Performance Lab enhances team and individual performance. Educational workshops, performance assessments and training sessions are given to coaches and athletes, which result in consistent high performances and outstanding achievements for all the athletic programs at the Academy. The nationally acclaimed sports vision program improves a player’s performance through overloading the visual system, which helps players work on certain visual aspects of the game. This training has shown to enhance visual skills critical to athletic performance, such as hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and speed of eye movement, up to 150%. The hyperoxic training program allows athletes to train in an oxygen rich environment to increase aerobic and anaerobic performance output by 10 to 15%. This live high – train low model allows for greater performance gains with less impact on the athletes.

These services include emergency and acute injury/illness triage, the prevention, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, proper referral, documentation and tracking of injuries sustained by cadet-athletes, as well as physical conditioning and nutritional and psycho-social consultation. Under the direction of the head athletic trainer Tony Peck, the athletic training staff includes 15 board-certified athletic trainers, with 15 post-graduate degrees. The staff provides athletic training services to all 4,000 cadets at the Academy involved in intramurals, physical education, fitness testing and 27 intercollegiate sports. Head football athletic trainer Erick Kozlowski leads a veteran athletic training staff of Ernie Sedelmyer, Mark Peters and Derrick Fitts bring a wealth of experience to the football program. The football sports medicine team uses a multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary approach to concussion management, nutrition education, movement screening, and progressive corrective exercise programs to improve performance, decrease injury potential and reduce the time lost due to injury. The Academy is one of the 12 original NCAA schools to participate in the NCAA/ DOD Grand Alliance Concussion Research Study. This fall the football team will participate with the Advance Research Core (ARC), Head Impact Measurement Data Collection. The team will utilize the Riddell SRS Head Impact Telemetry to measure the magnitude (linear and rotational acceleration) location, direction and duration as well as the exact time of impact. The athletic training branch facilities include three stateof-the-art athletic training rooms totaling approximately 20,000 square feet. Locations include the Jim Conboy Athletic Training Room, the Cadet Gymnasium athletic training room and the Cadet Field House athletic training room. The sports medicine division receives outstanding support and assistance from the medical professionals assigned to the 10th Medical Group. The departments of the 10th Medical Group provide assistance on a regular basis over and above their normal duty requirements, and frequently during their off duty time, include orthopedics, radiology, physical therapy and dentistry. Many other medical professionals from other specialties such as neurology and dermatology provide assistance and consultation as well. The teamwork and the highly educated professional staff in both the sports medicine division and the 10th Medical Group make the football sports medicine team at the Air Force Academy one of the best in the nation. Col. Mark Slabaugh, Lt. Col. Judd Robins, Lt. Col. Jon Jackson, Lt. Col Ross Schumer and Maj Matthew Weirath comprise the team physician staff supporting Air Force Football.

Last Four Years
Over the past four seasons, Air Force is 20-4 at home. The 20 home wins are the most in any four-year span in school history. Since moving into Falcon Stadium in 1962, the Falcons have been a major force. Air Force has a 193-115-4 record in Falcon Stadium. Under coach Troy Calhoun, the Falcons have been one of the best home teams in the nation. In his 11 seasons beginning in 2007, Air Force has been 5-1 or better at home seven times.

falcon stadium
A picturesque setting at the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains and boasting some of the grandest pageantry in all of college football, Falcon Stadium is without a doubt one of the premier college football stadiums in America.
Unprecedented Support Air Force’s a endance average is more than seven mes its student body size (4,000), making Falcon Stadium the most-well a ended in all of Division I football.
Sitting at 6,621 feet above sea level, the thin air has been kind to the Falcons. Air Force has won 63 percent of its home games in the stadium with a 185111-4 all-time home record. Falcon Stadium’s elevation is the second-highest of any Division I-A stadium in the nation. The stadium’s current capacity is 46,692.
Falcon Stadium, built in a natural bowl in the foothills, was built in the fall of 1962 at a cost of $3.5 million. Falcon Stadium opened on Sept. 22, 1962, when a then-overflow crowd of 41,350 saw Air Force defeat Colorado State, 24-0. AFA held a formal dedication on Oct. 20, 1962, when Air Force hosted Oregon. The Ducks won the game, 35-20. The stadium was originally built solely for football, but several non-athletic events, such as the Academy’s annual graduation, are conducted there. Since 1962, the stadium has seen several significant upgrades. In 1991, the Academy installed nine skyboxes and remodeled the existing press box. The facility currently seats 450 people indoors, along with 88 in the skyboxes. In addition to its game-day uses, the press box is also used by the athletic department as a banquet/meeting room.
of the bleachers on the east side greatly increased the fan experience with additional food and beverage vendors and more room to move around the stadium. In 2002, the Academy added permanent lights. The cost of just under $500,000 was at no expense to tax payers. The Air Force Academy Athletic Association picked up the tab. That same season, a school record crowd of 56,409 packed the stadium for a game against
Notre Dame. Prior to the 2016 season, two brand new scoreboards were installed, one in the north end zone and one in the south end zone. The video board in the south end zone was the largest in the Mountain West and among the service academies (at the time of installation). The board is over 2,500 square feet of HD video display (dimensions are 31-2 by 82-8) and includes a state-of-the-art audio system. Prior to the 2018 season, the turf was replaced, the home locker room was completely renovated, along with new medical rooms, media room, update to visiting locker room. The scenic backdrop, the game-day experience and the recent upgrades have ensured that Falcon Stadium is among the best venues in all of college football. The proof is in the ranking as CBS Sports (March 2011) ranked Falcon Stadium the 22nd best in college football, higher than any other Mountain West institution.
Throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s, the stadium’s capacity was 52,480 but in 2005, the stadium’s capacity was reduced to 46,692 (the current capacity). The removal

holaday athletic center The dream became a reality on Oct. 1, 2010, as the USAFA Endowment, on behalf of the United States Air Force Academy and the Association of Graduates, hosted a ground-breaking ceremony for the new Holaday Athletic Center. The project was made possible by a generous lead gift of $5 million from Bart and Lynn Holaday, Class of 1965--the largest gift from a graduate to the Academy in the institution’s history. The Holaday Athletic Center, an indoor athletic training facility, is also unique in that it is the largest privately funded capital project in Academy history. Construction began in October 2010 and was completed in July 2011. The 92,000 square-foot center houses a regulation-sized field that can accommodate football, lacrosse and soccer, in addition to many other athletic activities. Cadet athletic development and performance will be enhanced through reduced weather delays, increased practice time and improved replication of game conditions that the facility provides. “Today is one of the most exciting days in the history of Air Force athletics,” said Air Force Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh on the day of ground-breaking. “Air Force athletics is not just our 27 intercollegiate sports, but also encompasses intramurals, physical education classes and cadet physical fitness training. Air Force athletics touches every cadet here at the Academy and because of this generous gift from Bart and Lynn Holaday and others who have given, we will continue to have the very best facilities to provide total team and player development, benefiting all cadets and enhancing the Academy’s overall success in intercollegiate and intramural athletics.” Three days after the ground-breaking ceremony, construction began to level the ground north of the Cadet Field House and continued steadily throughout the winter. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on July 22, 2011.

the academy
the air force academy The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. Course of Study Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 31 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics. Faculty Composition The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year. Athletic Program The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year. Air Force Football
Military Education and Training An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required threeweek program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available. Nominations Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law.

History of The Academy In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

academy athletics Few schools in the country have an athle c program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s. The goals of the athle c program are to enhance the physical condi oning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a compe ve environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athle c program: intercollegiate athle cs, intramurals and physical educa on. The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanc oned teams, facing some of the top compe on in the na on. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnas cs, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnas cs, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addi on, the Academy sponsors two nonNCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV, Utah State and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many na onally ranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblema c of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 20 mes, which is more than any other academy. The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versa le structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and mul purpose area. The three sec ons have a combined sea ng capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a sea ng capacity of 2,470, while the mul purpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field compe ons.

the air force song History of the Air Force Song In 1938, Liberty magazine sponsored a contest for a spirited, enduring musical composition to become the official Army Air Corps song. Of 757 scores submitted, Robert Crawford’s was selected by a committee of Air Force wives. The song was officially introduced at the Cleveland Air Races on September 2, 1939. Fittingly, Crawford sang it in its first public performance. The first page of the score, which Crawford submitted to the selection committee in July 1939, was carried to the surface of the moon on July 30, 1971, aboard the Apollo 15 “Falcon” lunar module by Colonel David R. Scott and Lieutenant Colonel James B. Irwin. Interestingly, at the moment the “Falcon” blasted off the surface of the moon with Scott and Irwin on board, a rendition of the “Air Force Song” was broadcast to the world by Major Alfred M. Worden, who had a tape recorder aboard the “Endeavor” command module which was in orbit around the moon. Scott, Irwin and Worden comprised the first and only “All-Air Force” Apollo crew and arranged to take the page of sheet music with them as a tribute to Crawford and the United States Air Force.
Bridge Section: Toast to the Host “A Toast to the Host” is part of the original Air Force Song. Many times this is sung as a separate piece. This is the verse which commemorates those who have fallen in the name of our service and our great country. This is the reason for the difference in melody and the reverent, reflective mood. After every football game, the Drum and Bugle Corps plays “A Toast to the Host” as the football team gathers together on the field, joins hands and stands at attention.

(Give ‘er the gun now!) Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one helluva roar! We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force! Additional verses: Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue; Hands of men blasted the world asunder; How they lived God only knew! (God only knew then!)

Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wings level and true; If you’d live to be a grey-haired wonder Keep the nose out of the blue! (Out of the blue, boy!) Flying men, guarding the nation’s border, We’ll be there, followed by more! In echelon we carry on. Hey! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

falcon football pageantry Nothing is more indicative of the pageantry of Air Force football than the Wings of Blue. The U.S. Air Force Academy parachute team, the Wings of Blue, has been one of the outstanding parachute units in the country for more than two decades. Since 1967, cadets have dominated national intercollegiate parachuting championships, typically winning decisively over 40 other schools which field about 125 of the nation’s top college competitors. Additionally, they perform about 50 demonstrations each year for millions of spectators. That doesn’t include jumping into Falcon Stadium before the start of every football game, weather permitting. The Wings of Blue, because of their diverse mission, are divided into a demonstration team and a competition team. Advising and supervising the team is a cadre of active duty and reserve Air Force commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The team jumps from a variety of aircraft. However, the team primarily uses its own DeHavilland UV-18B Twin Otters.
Each cadet member must be a qualified jump-master and instructor in the Air Force Academy parachuting program. They must also maintain high academic and military standards to remain with the team. Members of the team average 600 jumps by the time they graduate. The primary mission of the parachute team is not competing or performing, it’s to train other cadets in free-fall parachuting. Each year, over 1,000 cadets complete five free-fall jumps in the basic free fall parachuting course and earn the coveted parachutist badge and rating. The Academy is the only school in the Air Force authorized to grant these awards and is the only school in the U.S. authorized to allow students to perform unassisted free-fall delays on their first jump, without any prior static line training. The basic free-fall program is the premier character development program at the Academy and is available to all cadets. It is designed to develop courage, confidence and discipline in each student and
provide leadership experiences for the cadet instructors who teach the course. It is a rigorous training schedule with heavy emphasis on safety. Before cadets make their first jump, they are drilled repeatedly in ground school on proper parachuting procedures. The repetition is intended to have the jumper respond automatically and correctly should something unexpected occur during the jump. Cadets who successfully complete the basic free fall course are then eligible to take the advanced training necessary to tryout for the Wings of Blue. Those who want advanced training must compete for admission. Selection is based upon an individual’s maturity, abilities, academic and military standing. From its uncertain beginnings, when it was reserved for stuntmen, rugged paratroopers and desperate pilots, parachuting has evolved into an exacting science and demanding sport -- a sport dominated at the college level by the Air Force Academy.
The Flight of Sound
The complete experience in sight and sound is presented at every home Falcon football game by the “Flight of Sound,” the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Drum and Bugle Corps. Since 1948, the Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps has entertained audiences across the nation and abroad with their thrilling performances. The Corps, originally assigned to Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C., was transferred to the Air Force Academy in 1963 and turned over to the Cadet Wing in 1972. Since then, the corps has won 16 of the 24 Interservice Academy Drum and Bugle Corps competitions and are the four-time defending champions. The competition is held annually during the Air Force vs. Navy football weekend. Recognized as one of America’s premier musical and marching units, the Corps exemplifies the precision and musical blend of a well-directed band or orchestra and the showmanship of a Broadway production. Performing on the average of 150 times a year, they have become known as the Academy’s ambassadors of precision drill and musical pageantry. The Corps’ primary mission is to support the Cadet Wing activities, including military formations and Academy athletic contests both home and away. An extension of the mission continues in the community with concerts, field exhibitions, band festivals and various military ceremonies. The “D & B” Corps is comprised of 135 cadets and has represented the Air Force Academy at Presidential Inaugural Parades, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades, The Tournament of Roses Parade, Mardi Gras Parades, The Festival of State in St. Petersburg, Fla., Walt Disney World’s International Music Festival and The Long’s Peak Scottish/Irish Festival.

coaches
head coach troy calhoun The purpose of the United States Air Force Academy is to develop young people of strong character who graduate and serve as outstanding leaders on active duty and beyond. It’s a purpose Troy Calhoun, who enters his 12th season, thoroughly respects and realizes is necessary for our country. Calhoun left the Houston Texans of the NFL as an offensive coordinator in 2007 to embrace the mission of the Air Force Academy and accomplish what was once considered nearly impossible: building a service academy program that often earns a postseason bid while playing in one of college football’s best conferences.
Air Force squad was the only team in the last 50 years of service academy football to play at least four ranked teams and win a bowl game in the same season. In the 100-plus year history of service academy football, Calhoun is the first coach to lead teams to at least six wins and a bowl game in each of his first six seasons.
Air Force student-athletes must complete the nation’s most demanding academic curriculum while further embedding the heart and character that are crucial for serving the nation. Cadets at the Academy must work through courses that require finishing over 140 semester hours. Strong character traits, to include respect, teamwork, courage, spirit, discipline, honesty and toughness, are the bedrock of the leadership qualities Air Force football players utilize while serving as officers in the United States Air Force. Calhoun and his staff have come up with a way to manage the varied demands of their players and lead them into a cohesive team that has fared quite well both on and off the field in his 11 seasons as head coach. In nine of his 11 years, Air Force has been to a bowl under Calhoun’s guidance. The coach has guided Air Force to an 82-60 career record in 11 seasons.
Air Force won the Mountain Division championship in 2015 and earned a bid to the 2015 Armed Forces Bowl while extending its school record home winning streak to 12 games, posting a 6-0 home mark for the second straight year. Calhoun was named the 2015 National Football Foundation, Colorado chapter, coach of the year for his efforts.
Calhoun’s players are extraordinarily successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force foot-
Under Calhoun’s guidance, the 2016 team finished 10-3 overall, posting just the sixth 10-win season in school history and second under Calhoun. Air Force won the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for a record 20th time and earned a trip to the Arizona Bowl.
ball team’s NCAA APR (Academic Progress Report) is annually amongst the finest at the FBS level of college football. From May 2008 through the present, Air Force Football’s multi-year APR has finished above the nation’s 90th percentile eight of the last 11 years which is more than any sport at any service academy. The football program received a public recognition award by the NCAA this season with a mark of 993 which ranked second in the nation. In addition to being one of the nation’s best in regards to the NCAA’s APR and GSR, 99 percent of seniors who have played for Calhoun since 2007 have graduated from the Academy and served as officers for our nation. Calhoun is the first coach in the history of service academy team ball sports to lead teams to a post-season bid six consecutive years. They have done this while playing very strong opponents. Calhoun’s 2009
Calhoun’s 2014 team finished 10-3 overall. Calhoun was named as a finalist for the Maxwell National Coach of the Year. The Falcons qualified for their seventh bowl game in eight years, and by winning the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, captured their third bowl championship since 2009. Air Force defeated Army and Navy to win its 19th Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy and its third CINC title in the last five years. The Falcons were also one of just two teams nationally to beat two 10-win teams in the regular season. The Falcons beat Boise State and in-state rival Colorado State, who each won 10-plus games. Air Force’s 10-win season was the first this century for the Academy. The team finished 6-0 at home for just the third time in school history. Calhoun’s 2007 squad also finished 6-0 at home. Air Force earned a bid in 2012 to the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force won its second straight Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy (then-record 18th overall) in 2011, the first back-to-back titles at the Academy since 2001-02 and earned their fifth straight bowl game in the Military Bowl. The 2010 Air Force team finished 9-4 overall and won Air Force’s 17th Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy championship with wins over Army and Navy. The Falcons closed the 2010 season with a victory over Georgia Tech of the ACC in the Independence Bowl. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation.

head coach troy calhoun named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation for his efforts. Calhoun’s 2007 and 2008 Air Force teams finished 9-4 and 8-5, respectively, and both earned bowl bids. The 2007 Falcons were the only team in Air Force history to win road games at Notre Dame, Utah and Colorado State in the same season. The five-game turnaround from 2006, in which Air Force was 4-8, was the largest in the nation that season by a first-year head coach. The five-game turnaround was the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games. Air Force’s nine wins tied Calhoun for the most wins ever at a service academy by a first-year head coach, matching the mark set by Ben Martin in 1958. Calhoun was named the Mountain West Conference’s Coach of the Year for his efforts. In addition, he was named Coach of the Year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. He was also one of seven finalists for the AFCA National Coach of the Year award. Calhoun brought to Air Force a wealth of experience at the collegiate and professional levels that was flooded with success at every stop prior to the Academy. Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previ-
ous year. On offense, the Texans had the NFL’s leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL’s best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and their quarterback tied a NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions. Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving on the defensive side of the ball in 2003. He helped coach the NFL’s fourth-best defense. The Broncos’ defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver’s defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000. In 2004, Calhoun moved to become an assistant on offense and worked with the special teams. The offense ranked fifth in the NFL, averaging 395.8 yards per game. Calhoun worked closely with Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan in the 2005 season, serving as the assistant to the head coach. The Broncos won the AFC West title for the 10th time in their history and played for the AFC Championship game for the first time in seven seasons. Their 14-4 record was the best since Denver finished the 1998 season as winners of Super Bowl XXXIII. The offense finished fifth in the NFL averaging 360.4 yards per game. The defense was stout against the run, finishing second in the NFL with 85.2 yards per game. Denver finished with an undefeated record at home during the regular season for the fifth time in team history. During Calhoun’s three years in Denver, the Broncos made the playoffs every season, averaging over 11 wins a year. Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level. He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90. He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team. Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was an assistant coach for the Falcons in 1993-94. He moved to Ohio University in the spring of 1995 where he served as the quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Calhoun was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. The Bobcats defeated Maryland in 1997, marking the school’s first win against a team from the ACC in school history. The `97 Bobcats’ 8-3 record was the schools best in 29 years. During his last season at Ohio in 2000, the Bobcats beat two bowl teams, Minnesota and Marshall, for the first time in school his-

jake campbell - offensive backs Jake Campbell is in his seventh season at Air Force as an offensive backfield assistant coach. Campbell returned to his alma mater after four years at Claremont-MuddScripps where he was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2011. He coached running backs his first three seasons. Campbell has been instrumental in the development of running backs Jacobi Owens, who has rushed for 1,000 or more yards in back-to-back seasons and finished his career with over 3,000 yards rushing, and Tim McVey, who finished among the school’s all-time bests in rushing and receiving yards per touch and kickoff return average. McVey became the first player in school history to have over 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game which he did vs. New Mexico in 2014. Campbell mentored two offensive MVPs (DJ Lillard, 2010 and Spencer Clark, 2011) at CMS. Lillard was the first running back to make first-team all-SCIAC since 2002 while Clark led the team in all-purpose yards in his senior campaign. Under Campbell’s direction, the offensive unit made its way into the school’s record books. The 2010 team broke the school’s record for points scored in a season
with 268 and tied the school record for touchdowns in a season at 36. The 2010 offense also led the conference in rushing, third down conversions, turnovers, sacks given up, and red zone efficiency, while being second in scoring and time of possession. Peter Kimmey, who took over for the starting role at quarterback midway through the year, rushed for 14 touchdowns in Campbell’s system, one shy of the school record. He led the conference in rushing touchdowns and points per game. Campbell is a 1996 graduate of the Air Force Academy. His on field accomplishments and highlights as a running back make him one of the best to ever play the position at the Academy. He captained the 1995 team that won one of the Academy’s three Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championships in its history. Campbell’s efforts land him in the top 10 in several areas of the Falcon record book. He is currently fifth all-time in yards per carry for a season, fifth all-time for a career. He is also seventh all-time for yards per reception for a season and fourth in career touchdown receptions. He put together back-to-back 1,000 plus all-purpose yards his junior and senior years as a running back, receiver and kick returner. Campbell was later named to the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph’s Air Force all-decade team of the 1990’s. Prior to joining the CMS football staff, Campbell served 10 years as an officer in the Air Force, reaching the rank of major. Campbell amassed over 1,000 flying hours as a pilot in the T-37, T-1A, and C-9A

He was responsible for leading negotiating teams with Fortune 500 companies in contracts worth well over $400 million to deploy the widely known and frequently used Global Positioning System (GPS). Campbell spent one season at the Air Force Academy Prep School as an assistant football coach. His responsibilities were coaching the running backs and quarterbacks, as well as the offensive playcalling duties. While at the Prep School, he helped develop numerous eventual Falcon football stars such as Scott McKay, Qualario Brown, Nate Beard and Chris Jessup. Campbell was also a math instructor and taught calculus. Campbell was also a Nike/SPARQ trainer and the lead running back coach for the Nike Football Training Camps held throughout the country. He has worked with some of the best athletes in the country, many who have gone on to professional and Division I careers. Originally from North Highlands, a neighborhood in Sacramento, Calif., Campbell was a four-sport starter in high school. He lettered in football, basketball, baseball and track. Campbell was also an assistant coach for the two-time defending conference champion CMS Athena softball team. Campbell has a son, Brayden, and is engaged to Bonnie Anderson.

NICK JONES - TIGHT ENDS Nick Jones enters his first season at Air Force as tight ends coach. Jones comes to the Academy after six years at Coastal Carolina where he served as tight ends and tackles coach. Jones coached the CCU PAT/FG units as well as the punt coverage unit. In 2012, he helped left tackle Chad Hamilton earn second team honors while bookend Drew Herring had a breakout season holding down the right tackle spot. In addition, despite limited playing time due to multiple injuries, tight end David Duran was tabbed second-team All-Big South. Then, in 2013, Hamilton and Herring were both named first team All-Big South while tight end Thomas Pauciello hauled in three touchdown receptions. Hamilton capped his career at Coastal by earning first team All-American honors and signed as a free agent with the Chicago Bears. Also in 2014, Coastal tight ends Pauciello and Craig Weick each spent extended time on the injured list, but combined to haul in 22 passes for 288 yards and three scores. Also, senior Cody Craig was voted Academic All-Big South. In 2015, Jones oversaw the most successful special team unit in the nation. The punt coverage unit ranked first in the NCAA FCS as opponents only attempted
Air Force Football
to return one punt for zero yards. Jones helped Coastal have one of its best seasons rushing the ball in school history during the 2016 campaign as the Chants topped 200 yards in 11 of their 12 games, including three games with at least 300. In turn, Voghens Larrieux was named All-American, playing both left and right tackle, while running back De’Angelo Henderson earned his second All-American honor, was a national offensive Player of the Year finalist for a second time and was drafted by the Denver Broncos.

steed lobotzke - offensive line Steed Lobotzke enters his fourth year at Air Force and second as the offensive line coach. Lobotzke coached tight ends his firsts two years at the Academy. Lobotzke’s first season at the Academy saw tight end Garrett Griffin develop into a free-agent signee by the New Orleans Saints. His first season as offensive line coach resulted in the Falcons leading the conference and ranking fourth nationally in rushing with a 307.4 pergame average. The Falcons were among the top three in the conference in scoring offense (31.4) and total offense (417.5) as well. Lobotzke came to the Academy after spending the 2014 season at WinstonSalem State where the Rams made a trip to the CIAA Championship. He spearheaded the Ram offense that recorded eight-straight 400-plus yard games and Winston-Salem State ended the year with a No. 10 national ranking. Prior to WSSU, Lobotzke spent 13 years at Wake Forest, including 11 seasons as the Deacons’ offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He also coached the running backs, tight ends and fullbacks. During his tenure, the Wake Forest offense broke many school and ACC records. In 2012, junior wide receiver Michael Campanaro caught 7.9 passes per game, which
led the ACC and was the second-best mark in ACC history. His 79 receptions in 2012 were the fourth-highest singleseason mark for a Wake Forest player and were achieved despite the fact that he missed almost three games with an injury. Campanaro’s 16 catches against Boston College set an ACC single-game record. The 2011 team came within a field goal of playing for the ACC championship and went to the Music City Bowl. The squad scored 338 points - third-best in Wake Forest history - and only had 12 turnovers, which was the lowest total in school history and the best in the ACC that season. In 2006, Wake Forest won 11 games and the ACC Championship. The offense produced 4,298 yards, the third-highest total in school history and put up Wake Forest’s fourth-best scoring season with 302 points. Wake Forest also ranked sixth in the nation in fewest turnovers. Freshman quarterback Riley Skinner was named ACC Rookie of the Year after leading the ACC in pass efficiency (139.6) and breaking the Wake Forest record for completion percentage (65.8 percent). On November 13, 2006, Lobotzke was chosen as the Master Football Coaches MCS Nike Offensive Coordinator of the Week after Wake Forest defeated Florida State 30-0 in Tallahassee. Lobotzke went to Wake Forest along with head coach Jim Grobe after serving under Grobe the previous four years at Ohio University as the centers and guards coach.

matt mcgettigan - strength and conditioning Matt McGettigan is in his 12th season as the strength and conditioning coach for the Falcon football team. Widely considered one of the best in the country, McGettigan helped transform the Falcon program. Prior to his coming to the Academy, the Falcons had posted a 12-24 record over the second half of the season from 2001-06. Since his arrival, the Falcons have won over 60 percent of their games over the second half of the season. In addition to being in better physical shape, the Falcons have seen fewer significant injuries. McGettigan played a key factor in the play of 2007 All-American Chad Hall, a 5-foot-8, 185-pound do-everything runner who averaged over 32 touches per game over the last seven weeks of the 2007 season. Hall went on the play in the National Football League for several seasons. McGettigan also helped develop Ben Garland, who plays for the Atlanta Falcons. Garland was a defensive lineman in college and has played both offense and defense in the NFL.

ben miller - running backs/special teams coord. Ben Miller is in his 12th season as an assistant coach at Air Force. This season marks his seventh as running backs coach after coaching tight ends for five seasons, and his 11th year coaching the specialists (punters, kickers and snappers). This season is his eighth as the special teams coordinator. Miller’s first four years saw the development of Travis Dekker as one of the best tight ends in school history and one of the best in the Mountain West Conference. Dekker caught 25 passes for 382 yards and two scores, while averaging 15.3 yards per catch, in 2007. His 25 catches were the most by an Air Force tight end since Trent Van Hulzen in 1989. Dekker would later sign a contract with the Green Bay Packers. Miller’s work with the kickers has also been impressive, as Luke Strebel joined a long list of outstanding kickers at Air Force. Strebel became the Academy’s all-time leading scorer last season. Miller also helped Ryan Harrison kicked a school-record 24 field goals in 2008, while becoming a semifinalist for the Lou Groza National Placekicker of the Year award. Will Conant ranked among the conference’s top kickers, hitting 11-of-13
field goals and 32-of-33 extra points for 65 points to lead the Falcons in 2013. In 2014, Conant hit 19-of-21 field goals and 45-of-46 PATs to hit the 100-point mark with 102. He also averaged 43.6 yards per punt. He was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist and earned MW special teams player of the year honors. Last season, Luke Strebel established himself as one of the top kickers in the Mountain West and the nation. He is the school’s career leader in field goal percentage with a .889 mark, hitting 32 of 36 field goals. He is a perfect 88-of-88 on extra points. His five years working with the running backs was highly successful. He oversaw the progress of first-year starter Cody Getz, who rushed for 1,248 yards which is the seventh most in school history. Getz opened the season with a school-record five straight 100-yard games while hitting the 200-yard mark three times to establish a new school record. Jacobi Owens posted back-to-back 1,000yard seasons and was among the conference leaders in rushing each year. Owens finished his career ranked fourth in school history with 3,005 yards. Tim McVey established himself as well, becoming the first player in school history to have over 100 yards rushing and receiving in a game at New Mexico. A 2002 Academy graduate, Miller spent the 2006 season as the offensive graduate assistant at the University of Illinois before returning to the Academy.

Roberts finished his senior campaign leading the team to a Mountain West division championship while Worthman finished last season in the top 10 in the conference in four categories. As receivers coach, Thiessen was instrumental in the development of Jalen Robinette, who finished his career as the all-time leading receiver in school history. He was also a key contributor in
the development of All-American Chad Hall, the conference offensive player of the year in 2007. Hall caught 50 passes, the sixth most in school history, for 524 yards, while rushing for 1,478 yards, which ranks second all-time in school history.

ron vanderlinden - inside linebackers Ron Vanderlinden begins his fifth season at Air Force as the inside linebackers coach. Vanderlinden came to the Academy after 13 years at Penn State where he coached linebackers. Vanderlinden’s time at the Academy has been memorable, leading linebacker Jordan Pierce to second-team all-conference honors while leading the Falcons and ranking sixth in the conference in tackles with 119 in 2015. Pierce had 19.5 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks and registered 10 straight games with a stop behind the line of scrimmage during the season. In addition, Connor Healy was second on the team in tackles with 90 while forcing a team-best two fumbles. Both players were in their first season as full-time starters in 2014. As the most recent linebackers coach for the Nittany Lions, Vanderlinden oversaw the school’s traditional “Linebacker U.” He helped develop a linebacker unit that included All-American 2005 Butkus and 2005/2006 Bednarik award winner Paul Posluszny, a consensus All-American and 2006 All-American and 2007 Bednarik Award winner Dan Connor. He also coached Michael Mauti to first-team all-Big Ten and first-team All-American honors in 2012. In addition, he had nine former players on NFL rosters in 2013. In 1997, he was hired as the head coach of
the Maryland Terrapins, a team without a bowl game and only one winning season since 1990. In both the 1999 and 2000 seasons, Maryland narrowly missed achieving a winning season and bowl game bid by losing their finale and ended both years with a 5-6 record. Vanderlinden recorded a 15-29 record. Maryland improved significantly during Vanderlinden’s tenure, winning more games in 1999 than the previous two years combined. His staff also recruited players who would be instrumental in the team’s meteoric rise in 2001 to an ACC championship, a Bowl Championship Series game, and a top-10 final ranking. Some of these players included linebacker E.J. Henderson, quarterback Shaun Hill, and wide receiver Guilian Gary. Also during Vanderlinden’s tenure, running back Lamont Jordan set the school record for single-game rushing with 306 yards. Vanderlinden’s 39-year coaching career began in 1978, as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green, where he also earned a master’s degree in 1979. He also coached as a graduate assistant at Michigan. His first full-time coaching position was with Ball State in 1981-82. From 1983 to 1991, he was the defensive line coach at Colorado under head coach Bill McCartney. During that timeframe, Colorado won the 1990 National Championship and three straight Big 8 championships. From 1992 to 1996, Vanderlinden served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Northwestern. There he played a part in the reversal of fortunes of a struggling football program into a two-time Big Ten champion. Northwestern led the nation in scoring defense in 1995 and played in the its first Rose Bowl since 1936. Vanderlinden is a 1978 graduate of Albion College where he played football as a

Weikert had previously coached the outside linebackers from 2007-11 before coaching the defensive line in 2013 and the inside linebackers in 2012. Weikert has helped transform the Falcon defense into one of the top units in the conference, improving in scoring, rushing, passing and total defense. He has worked with standouts like Haji Dunn, Jr., who was among the conference leaders in sacks and tackles for loss. He also oversaw the development of John Rabold as one of the top defensive players in the conference in 2007. Rabold was a first-team all-conference honoree, recording 74 total tackles and a team-best 17.5 tackles for loss. Rabold also had 5.5 quarterback sacks and led the conference with four fumble recoveries in addition to three forced fumbles. Weikert also helped develop an undersized Hunter Altman into one of the defense’s big-play weapons. Altman was
third on the team in tackles with 88 and had 8.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 quarterback sacks and was named honorable mention all-conference in 2008. In 2009, Air Force had one of its best defenses in school history. The defense led the conference and ranked fifth nationally in pass defense with a 154.3 mark. The unit was second in the MWC and 11th in the nation in total defense, allowing just 288.3 yards per game. The team was second in the MWC and 10th nationally in scoring defense with a 15.7 norm, which is the best mark in school history since 1998. The defense also scored five touchdowns in 2009. Weikert served as Wake Forest’s operations and video assistant in 2006 in his second stint at the school. He spent the 2005 season as the outside linebackers coach at Tennessee-Chattanooga. Prior to his work at UTC, Weikert worked at Wake Forest for two years as a graduate assistant. The first year he was the defensive graduate assistant, working primarily with defensive coordinator Dean Hood and linebackers coach Brad Lambert. He was also heavily involved with the scout offense in preparing the defensive unit each week, as well as weekly opponent game planning. The second year, he was the offensive graduate assistant, working closely with offensive coordinator Steed Lobotzke

mountain west conference spectively in 2005). With UNLV’s Anthony Bennett claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Mountain West is one of three conferences to have multiple No. 1 NBA draft selections since 2000. Also, with San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg earning the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999.
THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN WEST From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 18th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements during its first 17 years, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. In the inaugural year of the new College Football Playoff system, Boise State earned the automatic slot into a New Year’s Six bowl game as the highestranked champion from the Group of Five 5 conferences. The Broncos defeated then 10th-ranked Arizona 38-30 in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the-art basketball instant replay system.
with managing the day-to-day business of Division I athletics. San Diego State President Elliot Hirshman currently sits on the DI Board of Directors, while MW Commissioner Craig Thompson and New Mexico Director of Athletics Paul Krebs are members of the DI Council. Kendall Spencer, the former chair of the DI Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and UNM track & field athlete, was the first student-athlete in the history of the organization to serve on the Division I Board. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, re-
The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders five MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico and Utah State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central, Southern and Northern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean, while the addition of the women’s soccer program at Colorado College gives the MW an additional presence in the Rocky Mountains.
Changes in the NCAA governance structure set the table for another Conference first, when two members of the MW Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) were included in the June 2014 meeting of the Mountain West Board of Directors. New Mexico track and field athlete Kendall Spencer, the national chair of the 2014-15 NCAA Division I StudentAthlete Advisory Committee, and Air Force Academy volleyball player Emma Dridge joined the BOD members in this historic meeting to advance the discussion on student-athlete involvement in the NCAA and MW governance structure. During the last two academic years, MW student-athletes participated on monthly membership calls and have joined MW administrators in the annual Joint Council Spring Meetings in Arizona. The Mountain West is well-represented within the new NCAA governance structure, including individuals who were appointed to serve on committees tasked Air Force Football

MW COMMISSIONER CRAIG THOMPSON Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the Conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 20th season of competition in 2018-19, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on January 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. He has been instrumental in negotiating nearly $300 million in television revenue and has been an innovator in the postseason bowl structure as MW teams have participated in six inaugural bowl games. As conference realignment spread throughout the collegiate landscape, Thompson positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012, and San José State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013. The University of Hawai‘i also joined the league as a football-only member on July 1, 2012, while Colorado College became a member in women’s soccer on July 1, 2014. Thompson’s leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network and ESPN, and becoming the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs, as well as conference news. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. The Mountain West was also one of the first conferences to develop its own digital network. The Mountain West Network, powered by Campus Insiders, continues to expand and enhance the league’s profile through live-event streaming and on-demand content. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the college football landscape both in the previous Bowl Championship Series (BCS) format and in the current College Football Playoff (CFP) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MW has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the collegiate postseason football system fair for all universities. Through its first 17 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 76 bowl games, amassing a 42-35 (.545) all-time record in those contests.
College Football Officiating Board of Managers, LLC. He also has served on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (1995-2000) and was appointed Chair of the committee in July 1999, completing his term September 1, 2000. Over the tenure of his career, Thompson has been a member of the Executive Committee and the Director’s Cup Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), as well as the governing NCAA Council and various Council subcommittees. He has also played a prominent role in hosting numerous men’s and women’s NCAA postseason basketball tournaments in St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans and Denver. Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. During his eight years at the Sun Belt, he spent the majority of his time addressing national trends and challenges in intercollegiate athletics, television exposure, issues relating to conference membership and promoting corporate involvement. In 1997-98, the Sun Belt instituted a comprehensive sportsmanship policy, which earned Thompson designation as a 1998 Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport. Under Thompson’s leadership, the Sun Belt was active in expansion as it continued to strengthen its posture nationally, adding Florida International University and the University of Denver. Prior to its merger with the Sun Belt, Thompson served as the first and only commissioner of the American South Conference, which boasted an NCAA national champion in women’s basketball during its first year. The American South also gained immediate national cable television exposure on ESPN and sent numerous teams into NCAA postseason play during the conference’s four-year history. Preceding his move to commissioner, Thompson served four years as the Director of Communications for the Metro Conference in Atlanta. While at the Metro, he directed the communications operations and administered conference championship events. Thompson originated the Metro Conference Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association, began a weekly radio program with over 300 affiliate stations, and originated a weekly satellite video program involving all Metro institutions. He also took on administrative duties such as coordination of officials, scheduling of tournament and regular-season play, and handling of legislative rules interpretations. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University, earning numerous CoSIDA publication awards. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBA’s Kansas City Kings. Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).
Thompson is an integral part of the national landscape in intercollegiate athletics, holding many prestigious NCAA posts. He currently sits on the NCAA Division I Council and CFB Management Committee. In addition, Thompson is a member of the Air Force Football

college football hall of fame Four former Falcons have reached the pinnacle of their sport by getting inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Brock Strom, a 1959 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985. Strom was a consensus All-American in 1958 and the captain of Air Force’s only undefeated team in school history. He played an instrumental role in the 1958 team that finished 9-0-2 and played in the Cotton Bowl. Chad Hennings, a 1988 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. A unanimous first-team All-America selection in 1987, Hennings received the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman. A two-time first-team all-conference selection, he is a member of the Western Athletic Conference all-time team and was named WAC defensive player of the decade for the 1980s. He is a two-time first-team Academic All-American and is also a member of the Academic All-America Hall of Fame. Although he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1988 NFL Draft, Hennings fulfilled a four-year military commitment, serving during the first Gulf War. In 1992, he rejoined the Cowboys and embarked on a nine-year NFL career that brought him three Super Bowl titles. Long-time coach Fisher DeBerry was inducted in 2011, the first year he was eligible to be on the ballot. DeBerry served as head coach at Air Force for a brilliant 23-year career which concluded with his retirement on Dec. 15, 2006. He led 17 of his 23 teams to winning records and 12 captured a bowl bid, posting a 6-6 record. His career record of 169-109-1 is the best in school history in terms of games won and winning percentage. He coached the Falcons to three conference championships. The team won a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship in 1985, his second season, and again in 1995. In 1998, DeBerry guided the team to its first outright title with the WAC Mountain Division championship and a win over Brigham Young in the title game in Las Vegas. He was named WAC Coach of the Year for the third time in his career. The 1998 team’s 12-1 record completed the first back-to-back 10-win seasons in school history following a 10-3 campaign the previous year. The 1998 squad finished the season ranked 10th nationally. His Falcons dominated the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy series with archrivals Army and Navy. Air Force won the trophy 14 times and shared it once in DeBerry’s tenure. He compiled a remarkable 35-11 record against the Black Knights and Midshipmen and is the winningest coach in service academy history. Scott Thomas, a 1986 graduate, joined the group as part of the class of 2012. Thomas was a consensus All-American in 1985 while leading the Falcons to a school-best 12-1 record, a No. 5 national ranking and victory over Texas in the Bluebonnet Bowl. He led the team in interceptions with six that season and became just the seventh player in NCAA history at the time to have a kickoff, punt and interception return for a touchdown in the same season. Former Air Force coach, L.T. “Buck” Shaw was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Shaw coached the Falcons in 1956 and 1957. Shaw is most known for his seven stellar seasons at Santa Clara, but also coached at North Carolina State, Nevada and California, as well as two stops in the NFL with San Francisco and Philadelphia.
