"It really celebrates our history of Drexel athletics, something that we haven't always done," Director of Athletics Eric Zillmer said. "If you look at it carefully we've been playing sports for over 100 years and our history is very, very rich. The good attendance, and what it meant for the people there, shows you how important it is to celebrate our history so we can prepare for the future."
Delsi received the Athletics Director Legacy Award and has covered Drexel basketball for 27 years. He broadcasted four NCAA tournaments over 15 years for the men's basketball team. Since the mid-1990s, he has anchored the women's basketball games. In addition, he is an inductee of the South Jersey Coaches Hall of Fame and the Philadelphia Broadcast Pioneer's Hall of Fame.
"It was absolutely incredible," Delsi said. "I had no idea they were even thinking of doing it, let alone considering inducting me into Hall of Fame. I've enjoyed immensely what I've been doing for Drexel University for nearly three decades. The fact that they've even honored me for doing that makes it even more of a blessing."
