I think 1950 is a good cutoff for "modern football", with the decline of the Service Academies. The "Second Modern Era" if you will, begins in 1978 with the formation of Division I. I think you could also argue the formation of the Bowl Alliance, the predecessor to the BCS, is another clear demarcation point.
