So why was Gene Bleymaier removed as Boise State Athletic Director? This is the question surrounding the news on August 10th that Bleymaier’s last day as BSU AD would be September 8, 2011. The dismissal comes just 23 days before the 7th ranked Broncos take on the 22nd ranked Georgia Bulldogs in the Chick-fil-a Kick Off Game.
After I heard the news I recalled an article from Brian Murphy titled Credited for Broncos’ success, Gene Bleymaier now at center of complaints, NCAA probe. From the May 8th, 2011 article are two interesting paragraphs:

Here are my top 5 reasons why I think joining the Mountain West is great for Boise State.
The 2010 season has come to a close. Things didn’t go quite as plan, but the year was certianly full of fun and excitement. As the program starts to grow and move to the MWC, I believe Bronco Nation needs to become a better fan base. Here are some of my suggestions to make that happen.
This Friday, November 12th, Boise State and the University of Idaho renew the rivalry for possibly the last time in Moscow, Idaho. The continuation of the rivalry took a blow this past summer when Boise State accepted an invitation to join the Mountain West Conference in 2011. In doing so it put the annual game with the Idaho Vandals in jeopardy. 
Then out of the blue, Boise State’s President said some not so nice things about the Idaho Vandals, which coupled with Coach Petersen’s desire not to play the game up north as the game does nothing to help the Broncos recruiting wise and travel arrangements are not the best, certainly put the game on life support.
BOISE, Idaho – Boise State has agreed to a three-game football series with Michigan State, Director of Athletics Gene Bleymaier announced Friday.
The Broncos will open the 2012 season at Michigan State (Aug. 31), and the game will be televised nationally by ESPN.
“This will be another nationally-televised marquee match-up to begin the season,” Bleymaier said. “Michigan State is a premier program and we are excited about playing a Big Ten opponent.”
Boise State opened its 2009 season with a 19-8 victory over No. 16 Oregon, and also defeated No. 6 Virginia Tech (33-30) to open the 2010 season. Both games were televised nationally by ESPN.
The series will continue with Michigan State playing at Bronco Stadium Sept. 17, 2022, and the teams will again meet in East Lansing, Mich., in 2023 (Sept. 16). Boise State will receive a guarantee of $1.2 million for the 2012 game and the schools will exchange $300,000 for the games in 2022 and 2023.
The Spartans are currently ranked No. 5 in all three major polls, and their No. 5 ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings is the highest in school history.
With the agreement, the Broncos will move their game at Oregon State to Sept. 24, 2016. Boise State has also moved its 2012 game against Miami (Ohio) scheduled for Sept. 1, and will now play Sept. 15, 2012.
The Broncos’ nonconference schedule for 2012 is as follows:
Boise State schedules Michigan State
Aug. 31 at Michigan State
Sept. 15 Miami (Ohio)
Sept. 22 BYU
Kellen Moore for Heisman
Have you seen the recent Heisman Predictions? Kellen Moore is #1 again! Where else would you have a guy whose touchdown to interception ratio is 14-1? He also plays for the #3 team in the Nation, and soon to be released BCS, which will likely have his team #1. These rankings will likely change as BSU enters conference play, but that shouldn’t take away from the facts of what Moore has done so far. He is the best player on the best team at this point in the season. Period.
ALL LISTED TIMES ARE EASTERN
