Bethel Interim Director of Athletics Dave McCulley commented, "We at the university are   very proud of our current Hall of Fame membership and we want to make all of our fans and alumni aware of the process of nomination. We have several deserving candidates that simply need to be nominated to be included and that is where we depend on our fans and alumni to make us aware of who still needs to be added. At this point we are looking at those that graduated in 2015 and prior are eligible for nomination."
