Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

The Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic Hall of Fame honors the many extraordinary individuals who have played a significant role in developing the tradition, prestige and pageantry of one of America's most historic postseason bowl games. A voting committee comprised of select media representatives and select members of the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association Board of Directors are appointed every other year to elect the Hall of Fame class. Criteria for selection is based solely upon the nominee's Cotton Bowl Classic performance. Individuals eligible for induction include players, coaches, bowl administrators, conference officials and others who have made special contributions to the success of the Cotton Bowl Classic. Each Hall of Fame member is honored with a personalized bronze statue. This trophy features the likeness of a 1930s football player, the era in which the Classic was founded.
