"I did let him (President Bob Kustra) know that I wanted to stay, and I think he knows that I'm very disappointed," said Bleymaier, noting he had anticipated finishing out his professional career at Boise State. "We're very proud of what we've been able to do here in my time."..."I was told by President Kustra that his decision is predicated on the confidence level he believes he needs to have as president in the university's compliance operations during an NCAA probationary period,"
