On-Campus Salutes

Each year, The National Football Foundation elects an elite group of players and coaches to be immortalized in the College Football Hall of Fame. In addition to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, a special "On-Campus Salute" is held at the honorees' respective school during a home football game.

Usually a halftime presentation, the On-Campus Salute is sometimes an emotional homecoming, bringing the inductee back to the field where many of the same fans once cheered his successes.

With official school dignitaries on hand, a National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame representative presents the Hall of Fame inductee with his official framed Hall of Fame plaque. The institution receives an identical plaque to display in their respective Hall of Honor.

The On-Campus Salute calendar is usually released in early September at the start of the college football season.
