Boise State University

Max Corbet was inducted into the CoSIDA Hall of Fame during the 2010 convention in San Francisco, California, at the Marriott Marquis. Corbet was the recipient of CoSIDA's 25-Year Award in 2005 and Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. 

He served as CoSIDA president in 1999-2000, and on the board of directors for nine years, including two years as an at-large representative, four years as officer and three years as past president. He also served as the organization’s Sergeant of Arms at the annual business meeting. Corbet was one of the first CoSIDA presidents who did not come from a "BCS" conference school. He was skilled at including the entire membership during his term on the officer rotation, developing strong relationships with the college division and university division leadership.

Corbet was active on CoSIDA committees throughout his career, serving as the past chairman of the nominating, site selection, special awards, workshop social and workshop program committees. In addition to the leadership he showed while on the CoSIDA Board, Corbet was a leader and influential mentor to many while in the profession. He has an impressive record of hosting seven NCAA Men's Basketball Tournaments and one women’s tournament at Boise State. He was also the media coordinator for the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 1994 and 1999.

Equally impressive is Corbet’s ability to coordinate the media demands and promote Boise State during the football program's amazing rise into national prominence. Despite a small staff, Corbet managed the load involved with working with a perennial bowl-game contender in Division I football.

Corbet served as SID at Texas A&M-Commerce (formally East Texas State) from 1979-81, at Stephen F. Austin (1981-86) and then at Boise State where he worked from 1986 until his retirement in early 2017.
