As the centerpiece of The Summit League’s 35^th anniversary season, the league announced the formation of a Hall of Fame to honor its all-time greats.

The inaugural class will be revealed in March 2017.

A nine-member selection committee representing each current member institution will review and select an annual induction class. The inaugural class will be comprised from eligible individuals who were selected to The Summit League’s 30 Most Distinguished Performers list during the league’s 30^th anniversary celebration in 2011-12.

Eligibility standards include completion of eligibility and/or tenure at least seven years prior to nomination. Each nominee must have achieved significant honors during his/her career within the league, on a national level, and/or in professional or Olympic competition.

The Summit League Hall of Fame also features its own branding with a logo that incorporates the present and past. The current “peak” logo is amalgamated with elements from the iconic logo used when the league was known as the Mid-Continent Conference in a nod to the previous era.

A webpage devoted to The Summit League Hall of Fame will be unveiled during the winter.
