Leroy Keyes Purdue Athletics Hall of Fame
In Purdue Athletics history, there have been more than 9,250 student-athletes, coaches and administrators. The Leroy Keyes Purdue Athletics Hall of Fame consists of 172 inductees, meaning less than two percent of all Boilermakers are enshrined.
The list of Hall of Fame members is on permanent display on the upper level of the Mackey Complex wing.
To nominate someone for Purdue's Hall of Fame, you may do so at minimum eight months before the induction ceremony takes place. The 2024 induction weekend is scheduled to take place Oct. 18-19, in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Nomination forms are welcome to be forwarded to the department, or filled out here. Click here for nomination criteria.

NOMINATION CRITERIA
STUDENT-ATHLETES
• Recipient of at least one varsity letter award.
• Five years since graduation of his or her class.
• Qualifications and criteria based predominantly on candidate's outstanding achievement as a student-athlete while attending Purdue.
COACHES AND ADMINISTRATORS
• Outstanding contribution to intercollegiate athletics and Purdue University.
• Minimum of five years in intercollegiate athletics.
• At least five years since retirement, death or departure from Purdue.
HONORARY
• To be made in recognition only of exceptional contributions and service to the intercollegiate athletics program, or for outstanding career or public service achievements by those who have been associated with Purdue Athletics.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
NOMINATION
• Nominations can be submitted to: Hall of Fame Nominations; Purdue University; Mackey Arena, Room 2235; 900 John R. Wooden Drive; West Lafayette, IN 47907. A committee meets at predetermined dates to consider nominees. An online form can be filled out here, in substitution of a written nomination.
SELECTION
• To be selected, a nominee must receive affirmative votes from two-thirds of the selection committee members. In the event of a large number of nominees and a widespread vote in which no one receives the required two-thirds affirmative votes, the selection committee is authorized to conduct preliminary balloting to reduce the number of nominees to a number it deems workable. All voting will be done by secret ballot.
• There will be a maximum of eight living inductees in each class, with the possibility of inducting a maximum of three posthumously. These numbers are limits rather than requirements, and it is not mandatory that these numbers be inducted. If an honorary member or a previously selected member is inducted, it will be in addition to the maximum of eight living inductees.
