Nomination Criteria
Nomination procedures
Nominations may be made at any time during the year, but must be received by June 1st to be considered for that calendar year. Nominations will be retained for future consideration for five years, during which the nominee(s) who failed to be inducted must be re-nominated for future consideration.
Criteria for selection
All nominees must demonstrate Christ-like character. Individuals nominated for their athletic achievements must have made significant contributions to the Kentucky Christian University athletics program as members of a varsity team. Coaches, administrators, and others who have made exceptional contributions may also be considered for this award. Teams that have performed outstanding feats in competition and honored Kentucky Christian University in the national forum of athletics are also eligible for selection. Below is a list of general criteria for selection into Kentucky Christian University’s Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame. Nominations may be made in the following categories:
- Student-athletes. Former Kentucky Christian University student-athletes who recorded outstanding achievements in connection with varsity athletics are eligible for nomination, selection, and induction into the KCU Hall of Fame. Outstanding achievement in competition is recognized, as well as academic, spiritual, and community-based accomplishments. A student-athlete is eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame after a minimum of five (5) years following their last season of eligibility.
- Coaches. Kentucky Christian University coaches are eligible for nomination, selection, and induction into the KCU Hall of Fame. These individuals have exemplified Kentucky Christian University’s standard of excellence and have demonstrated leadership qualities worthy of praise and recognition. Individuals in this category are not required to wait for a waiting period before nomination selection and induction can take place. Induction can be during or after their tenure at KCU.
- Meritorious Distinction. Kentucky Christian University’s Athletic Department may recognize an employee of KCU’s administration, faculty, or staff, along with a member of KCU’s extended family, who has made an uncommon impact on KCU’s Athletic Department, are eligible for nomination, selection, and induction into the KCU Hall of Fame. These individuals are recognized for their contributions that have impacted the success, growth, or prosperity of KCU’s athletics. Those who have distinguished careers of service and who are held in high esteem in KCU’s community of athletics may be duly recognized. Individuals in this category are not required to have a period before nomination selection, and induction can take place. Induction can be during or after their tenure at KCU.
- Team. In exceptional cases, an entire team may be recognized for achievement in one of these areas: postseason play, garnering regional or national recognition for significant achievements, or exemplifying something truly uncommon in athletics that falls in line with the mission of our Christ-centered university. Teams that have achieved distinguished or outstanding feats in the field of competition are eligible for nomination, selection, and induction into the KCU Hall of Fame. The Selection Committee will also review the contributions and achievements of past Kentucky Christian University athletic teams, awarding distinguished and qualified teams, an Honorary Hall of Fame Team Award for exhibiting excellence in team achievement, character, and community service. These teams may not be considered for induction until five (5) years after their athletic eligibility has expired.
