In 1996, The Alumni Board of Directors established the Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame to recognize and honor those individuals who have made exceptional contributions in the field of athletics, while also demonstrating the highest standards of character as a student-athlete and since. Individuals who have exhibited great leadership and direction in advancing the excellence of UC’s athletics programs will also be considered as inductees.
Each year, inductees are honored at a banquet and recognized during a half-time ceremony at a University of the Cumberlands home game. Members of the Hall of Fame are further honored by having their names inscribed on a bronze plaque, on permanent display in the O.Wayne Rollins Center.
If you would like to nominate a former player, coach or outstanding team for induction into the Hall of Fame, please complete the form below and send it in before June 30th for consideration each year.
