Can’t speak for the SEC but in the early 90s…
You could get UT tickets for $10 at the grocery store.
The bands played a lot more at games, instead of a mega video board blasting Taco Bell ads.
When you made a bowl game all the players played even if it was the weed eater bowl. And the matchups were just better.
New Year’s Day was glorious with multiple games often mattering for the NC.
There was some semblance of the concept of ‘student athlete’ instead of hired semi pros who are at their 3rd school in 4 years.
