One Alabama coach, Bear Bryant by name, arranged a series of games between Alabama and USC. Alabama did poorly, in part because USC had many large and athletic gentlemen from Alabama.
Bear was asked why he lost so often to USC. and he stated it was because so many student athelets from Alabama went to college at USC. They were black, and not permitted to attend Alabama.
And so, eventually Alabama, to remain competitive, changed its admission practices.
