According to the release, “A nine-member selection committee representing each current member institution reviewed and selected the annual induction classes. The inaugural honorees came from a pool of eligible individuals who were selected to The Summit League's 30 Most Distinguished Performers list during the league's 30th anniversary celebration in 2011-12.
