The Summit League announced the formation of a Hall of Fame to honor its all-time greats. The inaugural class was revealed in March 2017. The Hall of Fame was set up to honor those individuals that have made exceptional contributions to The Summit League athletics as a student-athlete, coach and/or administrator.
"This is an excellent way to preserve the legacy of the greatest student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and teams who have paved the way for The Summit League's success. There have been tremendous achievements throughout our league's history that are worthy of Hall of Fame recognition. Recipients of this prestigious honor are ensured a prominent place in Summit League history." - Former Summit League Commissioner Tom Douple
