MAC Hall of Fame Inductees

The MAC Hall of Fame was created in 2012 as an honor to recognize student-athletes, coaches, administration, faculty, or staff from the Middle Atlantic Conferences who have demonstrated success in athletics, academics, and in the community. Ten to 20 candidates are inducted from any of the 59 current and former member schools each year.

Eligible candidates must:
• be an individual who has competed/coached/worked in the MAC – teams will not be considered. Associate membership does not entitle eligibility unless the institution/team competed in at least one sport in the conference.
• be a student-athlete who is a graduate of their institution at least ten years prior to induction – non-student-athlete candidates (coaches, administrators, faculty, staff, etc.) may still be an active member of their institution.
• be a member of the institution’s Hall of Fame (if applicable).
• embody good character and strong academic standing.

Inductees will be selected by April 1 each year and be announced at the MAC Annual Meeting (the first Tuesday in May).
