Its the individual schools that make up the conferences that are the biggest part of the problem. The coaches, recruiters, and athletic directors at each school is where change is most needed. This is different than the drunk white fans, but part of the same problem. Because of the extreme discrimination of each school's personnel in the SEC, the SEC becomes a discriminatory league. Considering this, every conference in the country looks discriminatory against whites. There are schools in each conference that are less discriminatory than other conference members. Schools like BYU, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Stanford, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, and Boise State often stand out from other conference members by playing more whites than the rest, but often the conferences are still far from being as white as they should be.
Let's take the MWC for the first example. As a conference with 9 members, they have 4 teams that are majority white (BYU-17, Air Force-15, Colorado State-16, and Wyoming-16) and 1 team that may start 10 whites (Texas Christian), and the rest should all start 8 whites (New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, and Utah).
This is probably the whitest conference by starters in the nation in the whitest conference area in the nation, but it still has teams that should be whiter than they are. The SEC is probably the blackest conference in the nation in the blackest conference area in the nation, and it has a majority of teams with less than 6 white starters. Vandy is the whitest team with 12, then comes Kentucky with 9, Alabama-8, Arkansas-7, Tennessee with 6, LSU, Georgia, and South Carolina with 5, Ole Miss and Mississippi State with 4, and Auburn and Florida with 3.
The differences are pretty stark, 70 white starters out of a possible 264 (26.5%) in the SEC versus 106 white starters out of a possible 198 (53.5%) in the MWC.
I wouldn't say that BYU doesn't discriminate against whites. I would say they tend to do it less than just about anyone, but I have been waiting for a white starting RB for 4 years and still haven't seen one. There are still areas for improvement. Two years ago I would have put Air Force on top, because they started the whitest team I've ever seen. Generally speaking though, those two schools tend to be the fairest toward white skill players.
