Casagrande: Cam Newton snubbed by College Football Hall of Fame? Insane

The College Football Hall of Fame has inducted 22 new members, including 18 former players and four coaches. Among the inductees is Mark Ingram, making history as the first player from Alabama's Nick Saban era to receive this honor. Notably absent from the list is Cam Newton, the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner, who did not meet the threshold for induction in his first year of eligibility. Newton's exclusion has raised eyebrows, given his standout 2010 season, where he led Auburn to a national championship with a perfect 14-0 record. The voting process for the Hall of Fame involves over 12,000 National Football Foundation members and Hall of Famers, with final selections made by the Honors Court. Despite Newton's achievements, his candidacy was not approved this year, though future induction remains a possibility.
