How to Submit a Nomination

This bio should contain as much pertinent information about the nominee’s athletic contribution as warranted without resorting to repetition.

Read a message from the University archivist.

• After all presentations have been made and sufficient discussion has taken place, the committee members will select current year’s inductees by closed ballot.
• Up to eight candidates with the highest vote totals can be inducted into the Hall in one ballot. The three candidates with the next highest totals will automatically be re-nominated the following year. There is no limitation as to the number of times a person may be nominated.
