Dear F Club Member:

The 2019 University of Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Banquet will be held in the fall of 2019 and as a member of the F Club, you have the opportunity to nominate candidates for this honor. As you know, induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame is the highest honor a former student-athlete can receive. Please carefully review the enclosed criteria, list of current Hall of Fame Members, and nomination form and submit any candidate(s) you feel worthy of consideration for this honor.

Nominations can be e-mailed, faxed, or mailed back to my attention and are due by Friday, January 25, 2019. In order to be considered for the 2019 induction class, nominations must be received by this date. Please note, phone nominations will not be accepted. Also, we will not accept self-nominations or incomplete nominations.

If you wish to submit your nomination via e-mail, please scan the form, attach any additional information, type “2019 HOF Nomination” in the subject, and send to [email protected].

I thank you in advance for your time and consideration of this matter and hope that each of you will be able to join us next fall as we welcome a new class into the Hall of Fame. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Kyle Rogers Associate Director

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CRITERIA

The Athletic Hall of Fame is hereby established to honor the members of past athletic teams who have excelled in intercollegiate athletics at the University, or gained national recognition in athletics following graduation. This Hall of Fame will also give special recognition to coaches and athletic officials who have contributed significantly to the development of the University athletic program.

1. The F Club will maintain responsibility for the Athletic Hall of Fame. The F Club Committee will serve as the Hall of Fame Selection committee. A chairman will be appointed each year to coordinate the selection process. Nominations will be submitted to the Selection Committee by October of each year. A 2/3 written vote of the committee will be required for selection to the Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" (category A). A 3/4 written vote of the Committee will be required for selection to the Hall of Fame as a "Distinguished Letterwinners" (category B). A 90% written vote of the Committee will be required for selection to the Hall of Fame as a "Honorary Letterwinners" (category C). Nominees are not eligible until ten (10) years after they last participated in intercollegiate athletics at the university. Members of the F Club Committee are not eligible for consideration. University employees, including UAA and Gator Booster employees, will be eligible for consideration after ten (10) cumulative years of employment with the University. Any employee that falls in the Gator Great category can be considered as long as they meet the Gator Great criteria.

2. Inductees will be voted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in one of the three following categories:

A) Gator Great - Letterwinners/Athletes who have brought recognition and prominence to the University and themselves by athletic accomplishments as a student-athlete. (Criteria to be considered: First Team All-American, First Team All-SEC.

B) Distinguished Letterwinners - Letterwinners/athletes who have made major contributions to the University athletic program through personal time, effort, interest and through many years of continued service AND have distinguished themselves as exceptional in their chosen field or endeavor.

C) Honorary Letterwinners – Coaches and athletic officials (after retirement) who were not letterwinners/athletes at the University of Florida, yet have rendered outstanding service to the intercollegiate athletic program through personal time, effort, interest and through many years of continued service. (Emphasis at nomination should be placed on continued service.)

3. Persons who have met the above criteria may be inducted posthumously.

4. Nominations should be kept secret. This should be stated on the application.

5. Presentation of awards to inductees will be in conjunction with the Annual Hall of Fame Weekend. Each inductee will be extended a ring and plaque symbolic of his/her induction into the Hall of Fame, and a photo-plaque honoring each inductee will be permanently displayed in the Athletic Hall of Fame.

The 's office will be permanently responsible to handle any matters so designated by the chairperson of the committee.
