WAC Commercials
The Western Athletic Conference is unveiling two commercials later today.
The first commercial focuses on the Conference as a whole. The commercial includes images from our diverse geographic locations, recent athletic success including Fresno State's College World Series victory and the final images of the Boise State / Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl game. Other images featured focus on the commitment each university has to both athletics and academics through recent facility (Idaho and Louisiana Tech) and campus renovations (Nevada) and enhancements.
The second commercial focus on the importance of sportsmanship and the traits we instill in our student-athletes and expect from our coaches and fans. The sportsmanship commercials feature student-athletes from all nine institutions. We traveled to Logan, Utah back in June to shoot the commercial. The SAAC student-athletes were meeting at that time and it was the perfect opportunity to film a representative from each institution while in one location. As you can see the SAAC student-athletes did a superb job in the commercial! SAAC stands for Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Representatives from each campus have a monthly conference call to discuss ways to get involved in the community and issues they face as student-athletes. SAAC members are elected on campus by their peers and we have various sports represented on the board and in the commercial....football, swimming, basketball, golf, gymnastics and soccer and more.....
The Conference wide and Sportsmanship commercials will air on the WAC website, pre-game at WAC athletic events and during nationally televised games.

Summer Update and New Projects!
I can't believe we are half way through the summer! It seems like the spring sports just concluded.
In the office things have been moving right along as we prepare for the upcoming fall season. That's right we are only 48 days out from the first football game....can you believe it?! Utah State will travel to Salt Lake City to take on Utah at 7pm MST and ESPN will televise the Oregon / Boise State game at 8:15pm MST on Thursday, September 3.
We have had a lot of projects in the hopper over the summer which are close to being complete. We have been working with row27 to create our sportsmanship and conference wide commercials. The sportsmanship commercial features student-athletes from each of our nine institutions and the conference wide commercial will focus on both academic and athletics. The commercial will feature photos and footage from each of our nine institutions. The commercials will air during WAC football games, on http://www.wacsports.com/, the WAC twitter and facebook pages as well as our blog.
We are also working with JumpTV, our website provider to redesign www.wacsports.com I think you are going to like the new features and look of the site. We are pleased with the drafts and are looking forward to the launch date which is still TBD...so keep checking http://www.wacsports.com/!
We are also in the process of filling the Associate Commissioner position....Darlene Bailey who previously held the position was named the Director of Athletics and Physical Education Department Chair of William Jewell College on May 20. We are so excited for Darlene!
We are currently looking at possible student-athlete gifts, championship merchandise, awards and closing the books on the 2008-2009 budget. Finally, we are in the process of finalizing our fall sport media guides! They will be available for download during the first week in August.

WAC Commercials
It’s that time of year again, when conference offices’ and athletic departments across the country begin to film commercials for sportsmanship and football season and single game tickets. At the WAC we will film our sportsmanship commercial on Friday. We are working with a fantastic company, row27 on this commercial and two others (conference wide and basketball tournament).
Currently we are gathering footage for our conference wide commercial and I would like to know what you, the WAC fans think we should highlight in the commercial….we would like for the commercial to highlight our academic and athletic accomplishments from the past season. What type of shots, information do you think we should include / highlight in the commercial? Is there a particular commercial you have seen on the airwaves that really impressed you? Just post your recommendations and comments here on the WAC blog!
