Dude, I was just responding for the reason for the 40 year timeline. I didn't come up with it.



Wasn't directing it at you. I just used Alabama's two NC Teams as an example of why his selection criteria was off base.

There's a lot more white faces in '78 than '11, that's for sure.

My pop got several football offers out of HS as an OG in '72 - he was 6'3 230. Times have changed quite a lot.

40 years would have been 1975.

When was the last school integrated? And was it actually integration or just "hey look we have a black guy on our team like we promised"?

Idk, I want around then. But I imagine it was a gradual process as opposed to a sudden one. It's only recently acceptable for non-whites to play qb.

40 years probably covers the largest amount of time that had teams recruiting based on ability with negligible regard to race.
