Committee says high-profile nominees are difficult to reach ahead of council deadline
Summary
Committee members reported repeated failed outreach attempts to some nominees — notably Michael Timpson and David Shula — and discussed using placeholders for council submission while continuing to attempt contact.
Committee members told colleagues they had trouble contacting several high-profile nominees and were prepared to submit placeholders to meet the council agenda deadline. Committee member (speaker 3) said he had "reached out to the last known contact, you know, based on Google information and left messages, but nobody has responded," describing repeated failed outreach to at least two nominees.
Members discussed multiple outreach options: calling colleges and former teammates, contacting family, and relying on local athletic directors. The Chair warned that council deadlines are imminent, so staff would prepare a placeholder submission and update it if nominees confirm. The committee agreed to reconvene quickly to finalize any late acceptances.
