Changes In Modern-Senior HOF Election Process
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2024 12:48 pm
With changes in the nomination process, the days of 8-9 members getting nominated and elected, could be over with, at least in the next 3-5 years?
Seniors, coaches and contributors can be nominated but can only fill three spots total, rather than four, when the coach/contributor nominee shared the category. To have three senior nominees get elected, the coach or contributor nominee has to be bypassed, while still getting the 80% vote from voters, who are not only getting younger but favor more recent candidates after 1970.
Super seniors of course, could continue to be ignored, but the modern candidates could be affected as well with classes getting just three or four elected candidates after the changed cutdown process. Yes, more discussion and diversity amongst the reconstituted committees, but their nominations still need voter support in January.
If my information is wrong, please clarify or correct me, because I don't want to see six member classes, but we will see?
