For the second time in as many years, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) and its member schools kick off a new academic year with the announcement of the 2026 class of the ODAC Hall of Fame.
Roanoke College will honor its three inductees, Scott Allison, Susan Dunagan and Ed Green, at the annual RC Athletics Hall of Fame ceremony over Alumni Weekend April 9-11.
Allison was a standout student at Roanoke College for the soccer and lacrosse teams, and went to coach both.
He was also a long-time athletic director at RC. Dunagan and Green both earned their Hall of Fame status coaching basketball, Susan with the women’s team and Ed with the men’s team.
This year’s second-ever class of conference stars features 36 of the best student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and contributors towards the league’s rich history of excellence.
The ODAC Hall of Fame now showcases 86 standouts following the inaugural class of 50 honorees in 2025-26 as the linchpin of the conference’s 50th anniversary celebration.
The inaugural class included representation from 13 schools plus three individuals from the conference at-large. The second class includes inductees from Shenandoah University for the first time and features 36 honorees from 14 schools.
That includes three each from the ODAC’s eight charter members – Bridgewater College, Eastern Mennonite University, Emory & Henry University (then College during its ODAC era), Hampden-Sydney College, University of Lynchburg, Randolph-Macon College, Roanoke College, and Washington and Lee University – and two apiece from Batten University (formerly Virginia Wesleyan), Guilford College, Hollins University, Randolph College, Shenandoah, and Sweet Briar College, each of which joined the conference at various points throughout the league’s 50-year history.
“The announcement of our second Hall of Fame class is another chance to celebrate the people who have helped make the ODAC what it is today,” explained ODAC Commissioner Brad Bankston.
“Each honoree has their own story, but they all made a lasting impact on our conference and helped set the standard for those who came after them. We’re proud to recognize what they accomplished and excited to celebrate the lasting mark they’ve made on the ODAC.”
The first two classes of the ODAC Hall of Fame have been directly selected by the administrations of each represented institution.
The method for selecting the third edition and those that follow will be determined by the conference’s administration at a later date early this season.
