Boise State received special recognition at this year’s Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup (CECC). The Broncos won the School of the Year during the tournament’s awards ceremony. This award comes in addition to the impressive feat of all Boise State Esports’ teams qualifying for the premier national tournament and advancing through the group stage into the playoffs in every game they played. Michael Blewitt, Senior Vice President for the CECC, lauded Boise State’s achievements while presenting the award.
“Every year, we’ve been honored to see this school rise—not only through the CECC, but through all forms of competition. Their culture is rooted in student impact and development, and their focus on competition is world-class. Their lasting legacy endures within our EsportsU community, as well as throughout the national landscape,” said Blewitt.
The CECC is the premier esports tournament in the country, held annually at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas. To qualify, a school must win a championship title in any one of the regular season conferences they compete in. Boise State usually qualifies for the event by winning the Mountain West Championship. This award highlights not only Boise State’s superb competitive ability in esports, but also its industry-leading commitment to professionalism and student achievement. This new award comes recently after Boise State won three Mountain West awards for the 2025 esports season.
