The Pro Football Hall of Fame released a statement Wednesday night about 24 hours after news broke that Bill Belichick will not be part of the 2026 class. The statement, that does not name Belichick, notes that if a voter violated the selection process, action, including removing the voter, will be taken. “The Hall also respects the members of the Selection Committee when they follow the selection process bylaws. “Each year, the Hall reviews the selection process and the composition of the 50-person Selection Committee. Polian, one of the 50 voters for the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame class, denied the report in a conversation with SI’s Matt Verderame.
