UM Sports Hall of Fame
The University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame is located next to the Hecht Athletic Center on campus. It houses many artifacts and memorabilia from the Hurricanes' athletic teams over the last 80 years. Each year, the Hall of Fame inducts former athletes who have been out of school at least 10 years, or coaches and administrators, in an annual banquet.
Since its inception in 1966, the UMSHoF has inducted over 250 or the greatest student-athletes who have worn the Orange, Green and White.
The Class of 2012 includes football's Ed Reed, Bryant McKinnie, Rich Mercier and Ray Bellamy, baseball's Robbie Morrison, track's Patrina Allen, women's basketball's Desma Thomas Bateast, and women's tennis coach Paige Yaroshuk Tews. The 44th annual induction banquet will be held Thursday, March 29, at Jungle Island in Miami.

Famous quotes containing the words sports, hall and/or fame:
“Falling in love is the right adventure for those who dislike sports and travel.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Fame sometimes hath created something out of nothing. She hath made whole countries more than nature ever did, especially near the poles, and then hath peopled them likewise with inhabitants of her own invention, pigmies, giants, and amazons: yea, fame is sometimes like unto a mushroom, which Pliny recounts to be the greatest miracle in nature, because growing and having no root, as fame no ground of her reports.”
—Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)
