The Western Michigan Athletics Hall of Fame, which held its inaugural ceremony in 1973, has grown to include nearly 200 former student-athletes, coaches and administrators, and for the first time in 2009 a pair of teams.
Â
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. Nominations for the 2020 induction class will begin being accepted in April.
