"Over the past few seasons, we've been intentional about re-engaging our alumni and creating a Hall of Fame and Homecoming weekend that truly honors our proud traditions," said WMU Vice President and Director of Athletics Dan Bartholomae. "As we continue our commitment to fostering meaningful connections with former Broncos and celebrating those who laid the foundation for our success, this weekend remains one of the most special in our department. We're excited to once again call for nominations and look forward to honoring the extraordinary individuals who have made a lasting impact on Bronco Athletics."
