Early years
[edit]Boerigter attended Northwestern College in Iowa where he earned his bachelor's degree in 1970. Boerigter then moved to Colorado where he graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a master of arts in 1974, and his Ph.D from the University of Utah in 1978.[1] In 1972, Boerigter began his 45-year career in collegiate athletics as a coach at Northwestern College in four different sports.[2]
Career
[edit]From 1972 to 1988, Boerigter had served as athletics director at three different institutions: Adams State College, Northwestern College and Whitworth College.[3] In July 1988, Boerigter began his 13-year career at Hastings College as the athletics director.[4] While at Hastings, Boerigter more than doubled the size of student athletes, as he established four new programs: baseball, softball, women's golf, and men's and women's soccer.[5]
In May 2001, Boerigter began as the athletics director for Northwest Missouri State University. While at Northwest Missouri State, Boerigter was the leader for the then-Fall Classic at Arrowhead, and oversaw renovations to the football stadium.[6] In September 2010, it was announced that Boerigter would become the fourth Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association commissioner.[7]
While serving as commissioner of the MIAA, Boerigter oversaw conference expansion in 2012,[8] 10 schools won a national championship,[9] and brought the NCAA Division II Football Championship to Kansas City in 2014 for three seasons.[10] In May 2016, Boerigter announced he would retire on January 27, 2017, after six years as commissioner.[11]
Personal life
[edit]Boerigter has two children. His son Marc Boerigter played professional football from 2000–07, including four seasons in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2002-05. This coincided with Boerigter's time at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO, about 100 miles (160 km) north of the Kansas City. In 2015 Marc accepted a job as a color commentator for the MIAA, while his father was commissioner.
