I compiled the data on the three pages listing current Hall of Fame enshrinees to pull together some summary numbers that are currently listed under "By the numbers," but that data conflicts with the press release from the NFF announcing this year's class:
Add this to the 13 players and 2 coaches inducted in 2006, and you get different numbers than what's currently listed (809 players and 174 coaches). Where did we get the data currently on these articles from, and is there any way to verify it for completeness without going through the Hall of Fame's search page?

I have added the field CollegeHOFID to Template:College coach infobox ( talk links ). In that field should be the ID from the CFB HOF website. I've added the field to a couple articles already including Barry Switzer, Woody Hayes, Knute Rockne, Hayden Fry and some others. I wanted to keep the wikilink to the College Football Hall of Fame article and preferably the year in sports article so right now the link to the CFB HOF website is a space ( ) with the external link arrow. Let me know if you feel this should be changed. I've also noticed that Bobby Bowden is listed as a 2006 inductee but he is not on the HOF website and Joe Paterno is down as a 2007 inductee. I left those alone but we may consider removing those until they are reflected on the HOF website.-- NMajdan• talk 15:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
The last paragraph under 'Building' is clearly someone's opinion, most likely a disgruntled Indiana taxpayer. It's certainly not NPOV even if true and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Countryroads ( talk • contribs) 18:46, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Since there's a press conference two days from now, we can hold off on editing until it's definite, but see these articles from today:

Hello! The Wikipedia College Football Project invites you to participate in the 2011 College Football Hall of Fame cleanup drive. We are seeking to improve the quality of articles related to the College Football Hall of Fame and ask for assistance from not only sports enthusiasts, but also anyone interested in academics, biographies, and history (to simply name a few). Working together, we can make Wikipedia even better! ( talk) 13:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC) (Using {{ pls}})
DRIVE COMPLETED Thank you, the cleanup drive is completed.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 19:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC) -- Paul McDonald ( talk) 18:25, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
The "Players by school" table wasn't adding up; so with the 2014 inductions announced, I did a search for each school listed in the table for "All Players" (excluding coaches) on this page. That changed the numbers for a lot of schools; it looks like there was a mix of old numbers in the table, along with some searches that must have been done for "all inductees" rather than players only. This resulted in dropping UCLA from the table because there appear to be only 11 player inductees from UCLA, not 15, and it seems possible that another school might actually have more than 11. Since there was a dropoff from 15 to 11, it seemed safer to reduce the number of schools in the table. No offense to UCLA fans! If someone wants to do a more detailed search to see who really should actually be next on the list, or can fill the table in further--or better yet, can find a list of inductees by school--that would be ideal.
There are a couple other issues with the various CFHOF pages; the A-K list links to each player's school article, while the L-Z list lists the school's football team article. The latter seems preferable, but it's a big project to fix the other page.
Another even bigger project is that all of the links to the individual player page (from the "year inducted" column) on the CFHOF site are broken since that website changed its structure at some point. As a result, all the links need to be updated to the new structure. It would be a good project to take on in chunks if someone has the bandwidth! -- Esprqii ( talk) 17:23, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
I work in the marketing department with the College Football Hall of Fame, and am reaching out to see if I can work with a Wikipedia editor to make the College Football Hall of Fame's page meet Wikipedia's neutral point of view. I understand that content on the page reads more promotional in nature, and while I have a few ideas on how to remove that content, we are open to recommendations. Some ideas include: Discuss the induction process including the enshrinement ("Blade") ceremony at the Hall of Fame in December. Add [ MacArther Bowl] Ceremony moved to the new Hall in Atlanta. Given that each specific gallery listed can not be sourced by credible media source, consider removing them so that the page doesn't read like a brochure for the museum. Consider instead of highlighting all galleries, utilize past news articles to discuss the technology. Ex: USA Today, SB Nation and CNN. The Hall of Fame has also recently hired a new CEO with past experience at TBS and Coca-Cola. Again, we are open to recommendations, and respect Wikipedia and it's guidelines and want to make sure that we are meeting Wikipedia's standards.

"The eligibility criteria have changed over time, and have occasionally led to criticism. Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com has said,"
And that's it? What did he say? Should we just delete this bit for now? Talydensic ( talk) 21:15, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
