Future HOF Classes

[El Paso Eagle]

I know this has been mentioned before but you have to wonder what the criteria for future Hall of Fame classes will be. I mean can you have a Hall of Fame player who stayed at your school for one maybe two years? If a player played at two or three other schools before coming to your school and then has a great last season is that someone you would want in your school's Hall of Fame? Will be interesting to see. Maybe the Hall of Fame becomes more of a recognition for a good season.

As of right now, your scenarios cannot happen.  These are continuing discussions that are in front of the NTLA Board right now.

Right now, 3+ continuous years as a player or fan gets you HOF consideration.

The only scenario I see where a single season gets you in, is if you have freshman-Jamario-like numbers.

Funny you posted this as I was thinking this earlier today.  I don’t see how you can possibly have new inductees into a HOF in a few years.  I have to believe many fans would join me in booing a Chandler Morris type player* who transferred in one year and out the next.  I don’t care if he passed for 6,000 yards and led us to CFB playoffs, I don’t think a fly by night player should be in the HOF.  

*choose your player.  I picked Chandler, but there are obviously many other options.

I wouldn’t boo, but I wouldn’t cheer either. Silence speaks volumes.

I guess NT will have no more HOF in major sports, because it is highly unlikely that any developing star is going to stay at NT.  Unless, you want to honor someone like Stone, who played very little but lasted 4 years.  

HOF membership in the future is most likely going to be players that only had one relatively great year before NT got outbid for their services.   Exception could be multiple year player that didn't really shine until their senior season.

I wouldn’t literally boo either…just expressing that I wouldn’t be in favor of someone like that being in the HOF.  I agree that silence would speak volumes (and it’d be much classier).

I’d rather have no new members, though I’d be ok with the “exception.” I’d love to hear other opinions.

I rather NIL never happened, it is well on its way to destroying college sports.  I think eventually that fact will have to be recognized and some type of curtailment will occur.  Unfortunately, I am sure that most of us older fans won't be around to see it.

It's out of control as is, and getting worse.   Players already under NIL contracts are starting to test boundaries.  Withholding practicing until re-negotiations happen.  Accepting an NIL deal at a new school, practice, then accept another NIL deal at the previous school.

The things that makes the NFL somewhat balanced (draft, salary cap, binding contracts) are things that will prevent college football from being balanced now and in the future.   It's predicted (by Power program coaches) that even if player contracts happen and NIL regulated, that extra under-table payments will begin again.

How about 2 divisions...Hall of Fame for those at UNT at least 3 years with great careers and Hall of Honor for those less than 3 years with great seasons.

How bout cutting down on the amount of HOFer's chosen each year! Instead of 6 or more only have three.

Not a bad premise, and I could possibly be convinced with some tweaking, but my initial reaction is “no.”

If you need some kind of subdivision to get in, your performance wasn't HOF-worthy.
