Even into the 80's there were still vestiges of the "old south" at SEC schools and many black kids/families had some resentment towards the SEC schools because of it. Remember, it wasn't until probably the mid-70's before SEC schools started having a significant number of black players on their rosters.

Desegregation was an open wound for a long time.
