Jon Burianek (2015) - CU Athletic Hall of Fame - University of Colorado Athletics

Jon Burianek

Induction:
2015

Jon Burianek faithfully served the athletic department for 38 years, retiring in 2006, though he recently has returned on a part-time basis working home football games; he was truly one of the athletic department's "home grown" veterans. The last 24 years of his tenure he served as the associate athletic director for internal affairs; he was named a senior associate AD in 1999, with the added responsibility of facilities development to his role. His first job was a student assistant in the business office in the late 1960s, and in 1970, he was named ticket manager, a position he held until 1987. In 1979, he became an assistant athletic director, assuming the duties of business manager. He finished his career working 415 consecutive CU football games (home, road and neutral), as the streak started with Colorado’s 49-19 win at Air Force in 1970.
