	College football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rutgers and Princeton, along with Columbia and Yale, met on 18 October 1873 to establish rules governing their athletic competition, and specifically to codify rules for the emerging sport of football.
		The response to this was the formation of what became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which set rules governing the sport.
		In the past, the unofficial national champion was determined by various polls, such as the Associated Press Poll, CNN/USA Today Coaches Poll, and the United Press International Poll.

	College Football Encyclopedia - Southeastern Conference
		The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has roots as far back as 1894, when representatives of seven schools formed the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) on December 22 at a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.
		At a meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee, on December 8-9, 1932, the 13 most western and southern members of the SC broke off to form the SEC.
		Southern sportswriters in 1936 were asked to supply a nickname for the athletic teams at Mississippi, already called "Ole Miss."

		The "Cuban" teams, with the exception of the Cuban Stars and the Havana Giants, were all composed of African-Americans rather than Cubans; but the name was thought to increase their acceptance with white patrons, as Cuba was on very friendly terms with the US during those years.
		The period 1890–1914 saw a state of perpetual turmoil, with many leagues and teams coming and going within a space of a few years, mirroring the problems with "upstart leagues" in white baseball.
		Negro Southern League was a minor League that played from 1920 into the 1940s; in 1932 it incorporated some teams from the first Negro National League and functioned for one year as a major league.
