NORFOLK, Va. – Dr. Wood Selig, Old Dominion University’s director of athletics, calls it “the most exclusive club on our campus.” And the numbers back him up.
Less than one percent of all student-athletes and coaches make the Old Dominion Sports Hall of Fame. Only five members are inducted every year, and each year, ODU has more than 400 athletes.
You can garner great seats by making a large donation to the Old Dominion Athletic Foundation. But the only way to make the hall of fame is on the playing field, court or pool.
In every regard, this year’s class earned it, including, Craig Wilkins, who was among the pioneers who helped the Monarchs establish their football program. He was among five members inducted into the Hall of Fame Saturday morning prior to ODU’s homecoming game against Georgia Southern.
