2025 Team in the IU Hall of Fame

With Cooper just now announcing his entry to the draft, I'm thinking he's a lock to go into the IU Hall of Fame at some point.  So many guys from this team are IU legends now, it got me thinking, would IU put the whole 2025 team in its Hall of Fame?  That doesn't appear to be how the HoF operates,  but there's a case to be made that this team was that special.

Not a chance.  Nor should they.  I don't disagree with how special they are, but it's for individuals. We've certainly had GREAT GREAT GREAT teams in other sports before that weren't given that treatment. Not to mention that getting your degree is (still, I think?) part of the eligibility factors for the HoF.

Each living  I Assocation member (letter winner) can nominate one athlete prior to 84, one after 84, and one coach or administrator.  To put the entire team in would be impossible.
