[QUOTE="vadimivich, post: 678477, member: 2338"] I think from a societal level it has been a huge positive - especially in terms of particularly changing the perception and profile of African Americans in the deep south. Having black athletes be the unquestioned faces of these major southern institutions (and in many cases, the de facto faces for entire states) has been a massive positive change (and it's why integration of those institutions was so important). That doesn't mean that college athletics isn't deeply flawed and needs major changes - even flawed institutions can be positive forces - but overall college athletics is a bright spot in the stalled civil rights movement.
