I don't know what the 1970s reference refers to. But at the dawn of the League's formation in the 1950s, I believe Penn's President, Harold Stassen(?)(a consolation prize for never getting elected to another Presidency? lol) was considering maintaining Penn's independence in order to continue big time football. I think Mark bernstein's book discusses this episode, probably more accurately.
