NFF Announces 2008 Hampshire
Honor Society Membership
Nick Liguori, Richard Pinck and Joseph Streany Named to Honor
Society
PLEASANTVILLE, NY - The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) has announced the members of the 2008 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, which is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a 3.2 GPA or better. Seniors Nick Liguori (Toms River, NJ/Toms River South), Richard Pinck (Hamburg, NJ/Vernon), and Joseph Streany (Croton, NY/Croton-Harmon) were all named to the 2008 NFF Hampshire Honor Society.
Qualifications for membership in the NFF National Honor Society include: being a starter or a significant substitute in one's last year of eligibility at an accredited NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division III, or an NAIA college or university; achieving a 3.2 cumulative grade point average throughout entire course of undergraduate study; and meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements.
The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF's current National Scholar-Athlete program, greatly expanding the number of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year and further strengthening its leadership role in encouraging academic performance by the student-athletes who play football at the more than 700 college and universities with football programs.
The National Honor Society becomes the latest component of the
organization's efforts to promote combined athletic and academic
success. Launched in 1959, the NFF's National Scholar-Athlete
Awards program became the first initiative in history to credit a
player for his combined academic success, football performance and
community leadership.
