"It is only appropriate for our Conference to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of our former student-athletes, coaches and administrators, specifically these five individuals, and their achievements during their time competing in the Mid-American Conference," said Dr. Jon Steinbrecher, MAC Commissioner.  "We are honored to welcome them to the Mid-American Conference Hall of Fame.

"The Mid-American Conference Hall of Fame is a testament to the achievements of those that have competed and served in this great Conference."
