Hall of Fame (original) (raw)

On Dec. 14, 2005, Eastern Kentucky University announced the creation of an Athletics Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University.

An extraordinary group of individuals, previously recognized by the University during the 1974 Centennial Athletic Awards Banquet, were inducted into the Hall of Fame on Nov. 3, 2006. This group of 25 is called The Founders. They were joined by an inaugural class of 13 members to make up the 2006 inductees.

The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year's class. More details and a nomination form can be found at the bottom of this page.
