Regular visitors of notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. We will eventually extend that to the major universities, and thus it is important to us that Virginia Tech has announced that seven new members will be inducted into their franchise Hall of Fame on October 3 and will be recognized the day before during the Hokies’ home game against Pittsburgh.
