tradition is the result of the players,
coaches and support people who have
graced the university since football was
established. The criterion for election
to the Wall of Champions is simple:
significant contributions to Mustang
Football. Each year, a nomination panel
of eight individuals accepts nominations
up to and including the final game of
the season. At that time, 25 names
of players, coaches and builders are
forwarded to the selection committee,
consisting of more than 25 alumni,
coaches, past inductees and local
sports media.
About the Champions Club
In the Spring of 2002, Michael Kirkley,
a former star Mustang running back,
and Jeff Fischer, a member of the
coaching staff for 10 seasons, created
the Champions Club – a group of alumni
and friends dedicated to raising support
for Mustangs Football. The mission
of the club is to “support and enhance
the Championship tradition of Mustang
Football.” The Club has worked directly
with the football coaching staff to
enhance the program and has focused
on creating successful tools for the
programís success such as the Adopta-Player
Program, The Michael Kirkley
Centre and the Wall of Champions. They
also organize an annual golf tournament
and other social functions.
