OMG, newsflash... black folks returning home to the South after moving to the Midwest during Jim Crow made Southern football relevant.
So you think there was a scarcity of black folks in the South in the mid 20th century?

And killed Midwest football which was king when the South was lily white country-club intramural and insular football until the 1970's.
Still bitter about what happened when the BCS killed that cozy little Rose Bowl deal and those Midwest teams had to start playing the southern teams, huh?

This is gonna shock younger folks. But in the 1950s there were a LOT of black baseball players in the South. College ball wasn't a big thing. They signed contracts at 18 at started off in the minors.
Today, very few black HS kids play baseball and the black HSs in Shreveport don't have enough players to field a team.
