The idea for the Hall of Fame was born out of a plan to honor an All-Time Reitz Football Team. Nominations and finalists were named, but the project was put on hiatus, as an all-time team had several drawbacks. There have been so many great players over the years and someone that deserved to be on the list would be likely to be left off; also, what about honoring future deserving Panthers? Could they be added? Would we have to bump someone off the list?

Out of these concerns, the idea for the Reitz Football Hall of Fame was born.
