Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported through multiple sources the Hall of Fame is contemplating a requirement that candidates for enshrinement commit to show up for the induction ceremony before the selection committee makes its final choices.
Terrell Owens, a member of this year's HOF class, chose to skip the ceremony and stage his own in protest of the selection process.
A source told Florio that most of the Hall of Fame members attending the annual private Ray Nitschke luncheon last Friday in Canton, attended only by members of the Hall of Fame strongly disagreed with Owens' boycott.
