NEW YORK — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder was selected to speak on behalf of all 17 inductees in the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame ceremony Tuesday. Here is the text of Snyder's speech:
Thank you very much.
Without saying a great deal about what we’ve accomplished, it is an amazing honor for each and every one of us on the dais tonight. My congratulations to every award winner this evening. As you can all see, amazing people, not just from an athletic standpoint but from a value system, character and those things that we all believe when we say football matters, that it instills in each and every one of us and so many of you out in the crowd, virtually all of you who have experienced what that value system truly is.
