TACOMA, Wash. -- Former Pacific Lutheran football coach Frosty Westering was added Thursday to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Westering was selected as part of the divisions class that includes players and coaches from NCAA Divisions I-AA, II and III, and the NAIA. He'll be inducted Aug. 12-13 at the hall in South Bend, Ind.
