The Pro Football Hall of Fame selection process is done by a committee of 48 people; members of both the media and the institution itself. Since its opening in 1963, they have voted for 318 players, coaches and contributors to be enshrined. College football's Hall of Fame is a bit differently: Not only have more people been bestowed the honor so far – 997 –, the voting process itself is a lot bigger as more than 12,000 people are participating.
On Monday, they were mailed this year's ballot – a list consisting of 76 players and six coaches from the Bowl Subdivision as well as 100 players and 32 coaches from the divisional ranks.
