Syracuse Football: It’s finally time for Marvin Harrison to get into HOF

The Syracuse football squad has had a very rich history with eight Pro Football Hall of Famers and has had countless College Hall of Famers.

While one of the best receivers in the history of the game is easily Marvin Harrison. He was recently inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, class of 2016.

But for one reason or another he isn’t in the College Football Hall of Fame? Why is that?

I wanted to make sure to double check the criteria to see how long Harrison has been eligible and investigate this topic in more detail, (via the CFB Hall of Fame Website):

  • A player becomes eligible for consideration 10 years after his last year of college football played, which for Harrison was 1996, so he was first eligible in 2006.
