USI Hall of Fame nominations due
|
Nominations for the University of Southern Indiana Athletic Hall of Fame are being accepted with the third class to be inducted during the 2009 homecoming festivities in February. The deadline for nominations is October 4, 2008. USI student athletes, whose final year of competition was in 1998, are eligible to be nominated. Hall of Fame nominees from previous years remain on the ballot for five years. "The Hall of Fame Committee will have a very difficult time making selections again this year," said USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall. "The addition of new nominees to an already strong base of qualified nominees make the decision making task very difficult." Any Eagle fan is eligible to nominate former student athletes or teams on the 10th anniversary of their last season of competition or a coach/administrator who has been separated from the Department of Athletics for two years. Special individuals (e.g., Varsity Club members) also are eligible for nominations. Nominations can be made online through the athletics web site by clicking on the link to the USI Athletic Hall of Fame. The selection committee will vote on the nominees and will select a class with a minimum of four student athletes and a maximum of one coach/administrator, special individual or team.
