The Front Row

It was USC with Sam "The Bam" Cunningham that ran all over them. Bear went back to Alabama and TOLD (not asked the govenor) that he was recruiting black players. Florida also opened up at the same time.

There is still racism at Bama. Then, as now, the sororities and fraternities remain completely segregated. Check out this article from just a few months ago:

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- University of Alabama President Guy Bailey says that while he hasn't worked at the school long enough to hear any concerns over racial segregation in fraternities and sororities, he'd like to see integration on his campus.

After serving five full weeks as president, Bailey told The Crimson White (in an Oct. 12 interview) that equal opportunities and how they apply to UA's Greek chapters isn't something that has been discussed since he arrived in Tuscaloosa.

"Normally, your policies don’t involve telling them who their membership can be or cannot be," Bailey told the CW. "Having said that, we would like to see the integration of the fraternities and sororities."

Bailey says integration would be a positive thing for the image of the university and that his administration will do what it can to encourage and help it move forward.

Note: If you Google this topic, you will see that past UA presidents have purportedly sought integration in the Greek system for years to no avail. I see no change forthcoming.
