1960's is what I'm calling the modern era.

Not sure I would call the 60's the modern era

era #1
spanning 1800's to WW II

era #2 - GI Bill and the rise of the state schools
spanning WWII to late 70's / early 80's

era #3 - ESPN / free agents / Supreme Court ending NCAA monopoly
spanning late 70 early 80's to ????

I am unsure if we are not actually in a 4th era that began with conference realignment in the 90s' and the move to the BCS in the late 90's. Certainly the moves made by schools in the past 20 years has had an effect but we will not know the full effect till all the dust from moving settles. I know the Hogs have to go back to the 60's for their lone MNC but the 60's felt more like the 40's and 50's than the modern era.

If we are truly in a 4th era it might be labeled the end of the IND schools and the rise of the power conferences which may cumulate in the actual move to the super conferences (2 or 4 power conferences)
