Art Monk, Dave Casper, Charles Alexander, Art Shell and Jimmy Johnson were among 24 former players and coaches enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday. The hall moved from South Bend, Ind., but the new building in downtown Atlanta is under constructi­on and scheduled to open in August 2014. Atlanta was hosting its first enshrineme­nt ceremony in a hotel adjacent to what will be a 94,256- square- foot museum organizers think will host 500,000 visitors a year. Atlanta is home to the Southeaste­rn Conference championsh­ip game, the Chick- fil- A Bowl and Saturday’s Chick- fil- A Kickoff Classic that matches No. 1 Alabama against Virginia Tech. Other inductees included Steve Bartkowski, Jonathan Ogden and Phillip Fulmer.
