The
Indiana Football Hall of Fame was started in January 1973 as an
affiliation of the Indiana Football Coaches Association. Its
purpose is to establish scholarships and endowments for
excellence in football in the state of Indiana.
The Coaches Association formulates and directs all
policies concerning nominees for induction into the Hall of
Fame. Candidates include coaches, players, officials, sport
media, and citizens of our State who made prominent and lasting
contributions in the advancement of football excellence.
The
Hall of Fame includes retrospection from Indiana’s prestigious
football history, running the gamut from the early twenties to
the present and into the future. The Hall of Fame also honors
those individuals and corporations whose financial contributions
have made the Indiana Football Hall of Fame a Reality.
The Indiana Football Hall of Fame organization
purchased their building in Richmond, IN in July, 1974 at a cost
of $98,000. Photographs, mementos, have been received from
schools and colleges around the state. Plaques for all inductees
are displayed and ceramic tiles with signatures of all donors
are placed in the Hall.
On September 4, 1974, Governor Otis Bowen, Governor of
the State of Indiana, issued a proclamation setting aside the
month of September, 1974 as Indiana Football Hall of Fame month
in recognition of the importance to the State of its excellent
football history.
The Indiana Football Hall of Fame is opened through the year.
