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)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“The boys think they can all be athletes, and the girls think they can all be singers. That’s the way to fame and success. ...as a group blacks must give up their illusions.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
