More than 90 candidates were nominated for the 2015 RMAC Hall of Fame. The ballots were divided into three categories by era: 1909-1970, 1971-1991 and 1992-2004. Voters ranked each era one through 10. The RMAC Hall of Fame Committee then selected the final seven from these ballots. The committee was asked to consider the nominees’ accomplishments in the RMAC, as well as diversity by sport, era, school and gender.
