HALL OF FAME ELIGIBILITY
Student-athletes, coaches and other individuals who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to the Nichols College athletic programs may be considered.
Student-athletes should have graduated from Nichols College or Nichols Junior College more than five years ago and participated in intercollegiate athletics representing the College. No such consideration shall be necessary for coaches and other contributors.
Student-athletes shall be based primarily upon the demonstrated performance in a varsity sport for the overall period and not a single performance.
A biographical sheet of each nominee or Athletic Communications Department's summary of the student-athletes accomplishments must be submitted to the committee. It should contain information about the performances at Nichols College, pertinent to the review by the committee, to substantiate any consideration for recognition.
