• Dave Kellogg to enter CoSIDA Hall of Fame

Dave Kellogg was inducted into the CoSIDA Hall of Fame during the 2009 convention in San Antonio, Texas, at the Marriott Rivercenter. He is a Veterans Committee Hall of Fame inductee. 

Veterans Committee Hall of Fame inductees represent former sports information professionals of distinction from the past whose professional and personal deeds and accomplishments helped make possible the stature of the sports information profession today.

Kellogg served the sports information profession with distinction at two universities. Always ahead of his time, he began his career at the University of Idaho in 1977-85, where he computerized the operation of the office to include word processing, desktop publishing and statistics; something other communications offices didn’t even think about doing for another decade.

He moved to the Air Force Academy in 1985, and served as the sports information director for the 27-sport program until 2001. As a member of the senior staff, Kellogg was responsible for all media relations, crisis communications, community relations, internal communications and branding. He computerized the office to include desktop publishing, converted from traditional photography to digital, and headed one of the first sports information departments to embrace the World Wide Web. 

Kellogg was an active member of CoSIDA, often presenting the latest in technological applications for sports information at the annual workshop. He also served several years as chair of the District VII CoSIDA Committee on Committees. 

Among the many events in which he has served as media coordinator include the World University Games, Sheffield, England 1991; 1998 O’ahu Bowl, 1997 Las Vegas Bowl, 1995 Tucson Copper Bowl, 1989, ’90, ’91, ’92 Liberty Bowl, 1987 Freedom Bowl, 1985 Bluebonnet Bowl. He has also worked as the director or press aid for numerous NCAA regional basketball championships and conference championships.

He is a past member of the College Football, Baseball and Basketball Writers Associations, a past president and secretary of the Big Sky Conference Sports Information Directors Association and past president of the Western Athletic Conference Sports Information Directors Association.
