Best Answer

Coach Dodd thought a player offered a scholarship should stay on scholarship until they graduated. He thought giving out 45 schollies each years was way too many and allowed the team to basically have tryouts for the team before settling on who stayed. He thought if they didn't make the team it was the coaches fault for not evaluating talent well. this was called rule 140. Dodd wanted it changed when it came time for a vote the presidents voted 6 to 6 to keep the old rule. Tech then announced they were withdrawing from the SEC.
