Former Arizona State Sun Devil and Arizona Cardinal Pat Tillman was selected last year by the National Football Foundation for induction into the College Hall of Fame. Tillman, a California native, has to rank among the top athletes ever to play in Arizona based on individual character and personal sacrifice. Tillman's legendary story deserves the iconic status that comes with his induction which will become official on July 16.
The 2011 College Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Show will be on July 16 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. ET. The show will be available online via live streaming at www.footballfoundation.org.
