WMU Hall of Hame looking for nominations

The Western Michigan University Athletic Hall of Fame selection committee is soliciting nominations for the 2008 induction class, which will be honored during the upcoming football season.  Since its inception in 1973, the WMU Athletic Hall of Fame has grown to include nearly 200 former student-athletes, coaches and administrators.

All nominations are forwarded to the Hall of Fame selection committee for discussion and consideration.  Once statistical and biographical information is verified, the balloting process begins.  Induction requires a 75 percent majority vote by the selection committee.

Induction into the Hall of Fame is based on the following criteria:

• Athletes are eligible for nomination 10 years after graduation or final year of competition.
• Athletes must have earned at least two letters in one sport, or one letter in at least two sports.
• Coaches/athletic administrators must have served the University for a minimum of five years.
• In addition to athletic contributions, professional careers and character are taken into consideration.
