What about scholarship limits? I think that started in 75.

History of Football Scholarships
quote:
1973 brought about the first limitations on football scholarships in order to free up money for women's sports after Title IX was passed by Congress in 1972 as part of the Equal Opportunity in Education Act. This caused the NCAA schools' presidents and athletic directors to push through a limit of 105 football scholarships. Additional reductions were made in 1978 (95) and again in 1992 which brought the limit to its present number of 85 and 63 for Division I-AA.
Looks like it was 1973, so basically the same year the SEC fully integrated. Pretty good place for a demarcation line for a new era to begin.

Integration really is a good timeframe to compare SEC programs. It completely changed the landscape in the South.
