3. Accomplishments after graduation may be considered.

5. A minimum of three and a max of seven inductees shall be selected each year, of which one may be deceased.
6. Inductees must be able to attend the induction, unless deceased. If they cannot attend, they will be honored the following year.
7. If the inductee's contribution to intercollegiate athletics was as a coach, his/her achievements must be significant.
