  • Induction:
    1997
Charles Young contributed 29 years of dynamic leadership to UCLA athletics before retiring as university Chancellor in 1997. Young's goal was to field a broad-based, nationally competitive athletic program, and he succeeded. But beyond the impressive numbers on the field — 61 NCAA team championships, nine AIAW titles, four Rose Bowl victories — Young also was involved in the development and the building of virtually all of the current athletic facilities: Pauley Pavilion, Drake Stadium, the Los Angeles Tennis Center, the J.D. Morgan Center, the Acosta Center, and the John Wooden Center. And, he was a leader in the national cause for equality of opportunity for women's sports and higher academic standards for student-athletes.

Young, who joined the University of Florida as president in 1999, was inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame in 1997.
