IMO, the modern era should be defined by a few events:
1.) Scholarship limits enacted in 1972 at 105 and reduced to 95 in 1978 (moved to 85 in 1992).
2.) Breaking apart the NCAA into Divisions in 1973.
3.) Television contracts becoming big time in the late 70s and 80s culminating with NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma in '84.
4.) NCAA beginning to crack down on recruiting in the 70s and early 80s.
I'll let you use this site to help you figure it out. Would have used an AU site if there was one, the results would be similar.

Integration happened later in the South, though. There were black players in the CFB hall of fame before the SEC integrated. I guess you could say that complete integration happened around that time period.
