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:
“Come, my Celia, let us prove
While we may the sports of love;
Time will not be ours forever,
He at length our good will sever.”

“Her cabined, ample spirit,
It fluttered and failed for breath.
Tonight it doth inherit
The vasty hall of death.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“To anybody who can hold the Present at its worth without being inappreciative of the Past, it may be forgiven, if to such an one the solitary old hulk at Portsmouth, Nelson’s Victory, seems to float there, not alone as the decaying monument of a fame incorruptible, but also as a poetic approach, softened by its picturesqueness, to the Monitors and yet mightier hulls of the European ironclads.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
