Chris ‘Doc’ Haskell, head coach of Esports at Boise State, was recently interviewed by Tommy Ahlquist on his podcast Ever Onward, which features local business people and other notable figures. The episode, How Boise State Built Its Esports Empire, covered how Boise State Esports has grown into one of the most dominant Esports programs in the country.
The Esports program began in the College of Education in 2018. Haskell’s varsity team and production space is currently housed at the corner of Front and Capital in Boise, and the College of Education offers a 100% online undergraduate certificate in Esports.
