The Red Coat Society is a Hall of Fame for service to Austin Peay athletics. The society was established in 2004 to honor those individuals who have provided longtime support to Austin Peay athletics.
To be eligible for the Red Coat Society, individuals must: have supported the athletic programs at Austin Peay through financial contributions or participation in Governors Club fund-raisers and other events; have supported more than one sport both at home and away whenever possible and recognized within the Austin Peay community for their association with Austin Peay athletics.
Each recipient is honored with a red coat and a lapel pin during a ceremony that takes place during the basketball season.
