“It’s about time we start celebrating the legends who helped put ABCA Legends on the map.”
And with that - entering into the 15th season of ABCA Legends - ABCA Hall of Fame Chairman and 2023 GM of the Year Corey Vilhauer formally announced the opening of the ABCA Legends Hall of Fame.
Voting for the 2026 Hall of Fame Class will begin this off-season, occurring throughout the free agency period and announced on opening day of the ABCA Legends 2027 season. Voting will occur every two seasons by a Hall of Fame committee consisting of ten general managers from throughout the league.
Each post-season, Hall of Fame eligible nominees will be selected for voting by Vilhauer. The number of players nominated will vary based on the strength of the eligibility class. Players must be retired to be eligible.
Once selections are made, the list will be passed along to the ten member Hall of Fame selection committee. Individual votes will not be made public, but total votes will be released by the beginning of the season.
Each member of the selection committee will be required to vote either Yes or No for each eligible player. Individuals who receive seven Yes votes (70%) will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Those who are not inducted, but who have still received at least three Yes votes (30%) will return to the ballot the following voting period for consideration. A player can stay on the ballot for five voting periods.
