The Letterwinners Association Board of Directors serves as the Hall of Fame Nominating Committee, and according to Bussey, they will meet in April and consider all those who have been recommended. Recommendations will be accepted until Friday, March 19, 2010.

Any former Clemson student athlete, etc., living or deceased, who received an athletic letter from the Clemson University Athletic Department and who excelled athletically is eligible for Hall of Fame consideration 5 years after his/her athletic eligibility has been exhausted.
