Bowling Green State University Athletics
2025-26 Hall of Fame Nomination
The BGSU Athletics Department invites Falcon Nation to nominate individuals or teams for the Athletics Hall of Fame. Nominations for the 2025 Hall of Fame Class closed on December 31, 2024. Any nomination submitted after that date will be considered when the Hall of Fame Committee meets to review candidates for the 2026 class (in late 2025 or early 2026).
(Please note that all nominations are added to the ballot for the next three voting cycles, then are removed from the ballot for the following three cycles. So, for example, a candidate who was nominated in November of 2024 is eligible for the 2025, '26 and '27 classes, then will be ineligible for consideration from 2028 through '30.)
While an online nomination (below) is strongly preferred, nomination info can be printed out and sent to the BGSU Athletics Department by mail. Please send any nominations to...
