In March 1973 the Bronx campus and, with it, the Hall of Fame, was sold to the City University of New York and the campus became Bronx Community College. In the late 1970s the state spent $3 million restoring the colonnade's crumbling foundation; more recently, it spent another $200,000 to restore the 98 bronze busts, many of which had deteriorated badly. By that time private gifts, which were always the Hall of Fame's primary source of support, had effectively ceased.
