Don Fischer (2022) - Indiana University Athletics Hall of Fame

Don Fischer

Induction:
2022

The "Voice of the Hoosiers", Don Fischer has been the play-by-play voice of Indiana Men's Basketball and Football since 1973. During that time, he's called more than 2,000 games, four NCAA Men's Basketball Championship games and 12 bowl contests, serving as the voice that IU fans trust for nearly 50 years. Longevity, though, isn't the only thing that Fischer has on an IU resume that started when he was just 26 years old. He's also one of the most respected and highly-decorated play-by-play announcers in all of college sports. He's been honored as the National Sports Media Association's Indiana Sportscaster of the Year 27 times, and earlier this summer was awarded the prestigious National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame's Chris Schenkel Award. He was also awarded with the Indiana University Bicentennial Award in 2019 in recognition for his enormous contributions to Indiana University and IU Athletics.
