A a it be said with Strong conviction that what he was Able to do on the Field should be the Only yardstick of evaluation. The serious allegations of his involvement in a dual murder however makes the Hall of Fame Issue comparatively speaking a minor cause for concern. But Simpson represents a definite problem for the College football Hall of Fame. Within its Entrance rules is a regulation regarding How a candidate conducts his life. It applies before selection but what about after enshrinement the College football Hall of Fame a and the professional football Hall of Fame a done to have any representatives sentenced to prison for committing a crime. Their a a records were established by running passing kicking blocking tackling and not Quot pulling time in a Penitentiary. This is As it should be. Put the focus exclusively on performance. But the College football Hall of Fame May have a problem with the Simpson involvement that could play out to it being accused of having a double Standard. The Field needs to be level for All participants. Here a what happened. The College football Hall of Fame in february of 1983 voted in Billy Cannon like Simpson a Winner of the Heisman trophy which is emblematic of being the years leading College football player. But before Cannon could be officially enshrined in the College Hall of Fame the following december the award was denied after he got into trouble in july. Instead of being immortalized As Simpson has been Cannon had the highly coveted Honor pulled away before he Ever got the Chance to receive it. He was in the College football Hall of Fame and five months later he Wasny to it evolved in such a convoluted and embarrassing Way because Cannon then an affluent dentist in Baton Rouge la., got involved in a counterfeit scheme. The leaders of the College Hall quickly excommunicated him depriving him entry after in fact he bad been officially elected. Will the College football shrine Lake Simpson by cause of what has occurred out of its hallowed Sanctuary or is that impossible does a different code of morality prevail once you Are a member of the Hall of Fame is a Man if an enshrined allowed to violate the Laws of the land without jeopardizing his exalted Posi Tion of Post football achievement meanwhile in professional baseball Pete Rose implicated in gambling charges has the credentials to enter the baseball Hall of Fame but has been denied eligibility. His name Hasni to even been placed on the ballot. He a Personna non grata. Supporters of re amp a will be awaiting the outcome of the Simpson trial to see if the murder charges arc proven and if so what the two football Halls of Fame do about it. The pro football Hall of Fame does no to have to act. It can keep Simpson in place among its deified heroes because Good citizenship has nothing to do with getting elected. But the College football Hall of Fame has a decision to make and since there a precedent in the Cannon Case what does it do about Simpson if he a convicted the easiest solution is to abandon the goad citizenship Rule to measure players for their deeds on the Field and let things stand As they arc. If Cannon is prevented from entering the Hall then Simpson if the same interpretation applies has to be considered for a discharge that the military might term less than honorable. A to an to .
