Shocking to see the exploitation of Crowder's success for university gain as it is hypocritical to ride his coat tails and then deny similar student athletes a chance to represent and succeed at Marquette, aina?

You beat me to it.  Considering Crowder's eligibility status was anathema to the BOT, isn't it a bit disingenuous to put him in the HOF?  Hell, the guy represents everything the current regime is trying to get away from.

Reasonable point, Doc.

No, he doesn't.

What does the M Club HOF bring to Marquette University's gain?

So what is the other option? Erase him from memory and no longer acknowledge his impact on Marquette basketball? Is that really an example of Cura Personalis?

It's not hypocritical to acknowledge his importance to the program while understanding that he wouldn't be admitted now. I'm sure many alumni award recipients fall in the same boat.

And that's not "exploitation." Jae is likely fully on board with his induction.

[Billy Hoyle]

Shouldn't someone have to graduate from MU to be put in the HOF? Very disappointed by this decision. So many other worthy candidates who are graduates.

Wasn't this "rule" kinda shelved when Wade got his banner?

Wade wouldn't be either

Nor Lazar.

Can't people just be happy about this kind of stuff?  Everyone has to be so critical and cynical.

100% right, Doc. MU doesn't want his "kind" around here anymore. But if MU can use his fame to help the brand...

Jae doesn't see to think he's being exploited or used. Maybe you should direct your criticisms in a way that's more accurate.

Right.  Maybe people should give Jae an email or even a Tweet letting them know that he's "everything this administration stands against" and that Marquette is just "exploiting his success for the university gain."

Because I'm sure the M Club Hall of Fame inductees are all over the national news, ESPN is probably all over this breaking news, etc.

Many of you wouldn't get in nowadays either so ponder that.  Jae's a wonderful representative for Marquette and a genuinely very nice guy from a great family.

Exactly. Maybe Marquette should stop calling all of the alumni who scored under the current ACT and GPA requirements and to ask them for donations because their grades from 40 years ago no longer satisfy what current students are asked to achieve to get into Marquette. That'd be a hell of a way for colleges to run things.

I might add that I am pretty sure they are the top income earners from their class to date as well.

Sorry to take this off-topic, but congrats to Jae and Lazar.

I think the Midget year and the 2 Step season were two of my most favorite teams.  Zar and Jae were both undersized for their roles but were as tough as nails. Such fun.  Truly MU greats.

LOVED the midget year. The whole world expected a huge dropoff when the Amigos were gone, but 'Zar was a great team leader, JFB and DJO stepped up big-time, and Mo and David were far better at running the show than expected. It was a stressful season - so many close games - but a memorable one. The three straight OT wins on the road is a tough act to follow....

The worst part of that year was the overwhelming sense of deja vu in the Washington game. After FSU, NC State, West Virginia, Nova (twice), and DePaul all ended up being games where we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, the three OT wins gave the impression that the team finally had the ability to hold together at the end and secure wins. Then we play Washington, build the massive lead that looked certain to propel us to the Sweet 16 (we all knew New Mexico was a paper tiger), and it all unraveled thanks to Pondexter and Thomas.

That NCAA game still haunts me as the whole "season ending with a thud" moment.
