(University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame criteria and selection process listed on back) UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME Criteria 1) Ten-year waiting period from the completion of athletic or coaching career at CU (Amended from five years in 2012; exception: anyone with a terminal illness before the 10-year period expires). 2) Individuals will be eligible for the Hall of Fame by achieving any of the following: a) All-American (by NCAA recognized selectors) b) Repeat All-Conference Performers c) National Award or Trophy Recipients d) Multi-Sport Letter Winner e) American Record Holder (mark must be recognized by proper governing body) f) World Record Holder (mark must be recognized by proper governing body) g) United States Olympic Team Member (includes Olympic Medalist, technically for any country) i) Accomplishments beyond CU j) Examination of Career (are they worthy despite limited or no conference or national honors) 1) Team MVP on a national or conference national championship team 3) Coaches will be eligible for the Hall of Fame by achieving any of the following: a) Must have a profound impact on his/her team, athletic program and the university in addition to: 1) Serving as head coach of a national championship team; and/or 2) Being named National Coach of the Year; and/or 3) Repeat Conference (or District) Coach of the Year b) Accomplishments or contributions after leaving CU that distinguished the individual and the university. 4) Athletic Administration a) Brought distinction and honor to the University of Colorado b) Accomplishments or contributions after leaving CU that distinguished the individual and the university. 5) Special Consideration. A vote by the Selection Committee will be allowed if an individual who does not meet the specific criteria listed above by who had a significant impact on their particular sport and/or team to be eligible for induction into the University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame. This is also where a specific team could be nominated as a unit. In order to be eligible for induction, a majority vote by the Selection Committee is required. 6) Team Recognition. The 1959 ski team was honored as a group due to its winning the school’s first national championship; but recognizing other teams is problematic; the 2012 selection committee voted to no longer consider full teams for the Hall of Fame and confirmed that members of the ’59 ski team are not individual members of the Hall and that they are eligible for nomination and induction. 7) It is preferred, but not required, that athletes have earned a degree from the University of Colorado. If a nominee has not earned a degree, special circumstances may be considered as to why. Number selected: various (minimum of four) Nominations solicited by: Alumni C-Club (through Alumni C-Club Director) Nominations submitted by: Alumni C-Club Membership (dues paying); past inductees; current and former athletic directors; current associate and assistant athletic directors and head coaches; historian Winner(s) selected by: Selection Committee (minimum 6 members from the below; 7 if SID and Historian are two people). Co-chaired by Associate AD/Sports Information and Alumni C-Club Director (who both vote), the committee includes current Athletic Director, current SID, current Historian (if someone other than the SID occupies that position), officers of the Alumni C-Club (president, executive committee chairman, treasurer), and one or two at-large members, selected by the Alumni C-Club Director and/or SID. Selection Process: Alumni C-Club Director will solicit nominations from the dues paying membership in January of the year of induction; nominations will be accepted until April 1. The selection committee will then hold however many necessary votes to pare the nominees down to the 6-8 range for induction annually (bi-annual format eliminated in 2014), and will also consider any special inductees (i.e., posthumous or a so-called “living legend”). Ballot process switched from votes to point system (10-9-8-7-etc.) in 2008, top point getters are thus selected for induction. Presentation: Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (in the fall, around a home football game weekend) Display: A permanent display of those inducted has been temporarily created at the Coors Events Center.
