Batt is one of three new members of the Hall of Fame’s 25-member board of directors.
“J Batt’s appointment to the College Football Hall of Fame’s board of directors is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the sport of college football, and intercollegiate athletics,” president and CEO of the College Football Hall of Fame Kimberly Beaudin said in a release. “His leadership at Georgia Tech has exemplified the values of hard work, integrity and perseverance that we hold dear at the Hall of Fame.
