... that the co-founders of the Black College Football Hall of Fame attended the same historically black university and were both quarterbacks in the National Football League? Source: "Former NFL and Grambling quarterback James Harris said in a statement ... The original Black College Football Hall of Fame was co-founded in 2009 by Harris and NFL QB Doug Williams, both of whom starred at Grambling State."

Hook is within DYK limits and is interesting. Article is just long enough and new enough. I suggest adding a fair use photo of the logo (not required for this DYK). No apparent copyvios and the article seems well sourced. Earwig pings titles of organizations but I didn't see any blatant plagiarism. Good to go as soon as QPQ is satisfied.
