Led by eighth-year head coach Lloyd Eaton, they were members of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and played their home games on campus at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. The Cowboys were three-time defending conference champions and outscored their opponents 242 to 118. Wyoming won its first {{nowrap|six games,}} but dropped the last four in a season tainted by a racial controversy. "Black 14" controversyDuring the season in mid-October, head coach Eaton dismissed 14 black players from the team for asking to wear black armbands during the upcoming home game against the Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars. At the previous year's win over BYU at Provo, Cougar players had subjected them to racial epithets.[1] A week before the game, the team's black members were reminded of the incident and also informed about the racial policies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (which owns and operates BYU, and which at that time excluded black people from the priesthood of the LDS Church) by Willie Black, leader of Wyoming's Black Student Alliance, and challenged them to do something about it.[1] The day before the game, the players donned black armbands on their civilian clothes and went to Eaton's office to discuss how they might show solidarity with the BSA {{nowrap|protest.[2]}} Upon seeing them with the armbands the coach immediately dismissed them from the team.[1][3] According to Joe Williams, a team co-captain before he was suspended from the team, "We wanted to see if we could wear black armbands in the game, or black socks, or black X's on our helmets. And if he had said no we had already agreed that we would be willing to protest with nothing but our black skins."[3] Eaton took them to the bleachers in Memorial Fieldhouse,[1] and said he listened to their suggestions for ten minutes before deciding to release them.[3] Williams gives a very different account: "He [Eaton] came in, sneered at us and yelled that we were off the squad. He said our very presence defied him. He said he has had some good Neeegro boys. Just like that."[3] Defensive end Tony McGee said that Eaton "said we could go to Grambling State or Morgan State... We could go back to colored relief. If anyone said anything, he told us to shut up. We were really protesting policies we thought were racist."[1] John Griffin, a flanker, corroborates McGee's memory.[1] At San Jose State University, the Spartans were petitioned in a letter by a UW student group to boycott the homecoming game in Laramie;[4] San Jose voted to play the game and wear multicolored armbands in support {{nowrap|of the 14.[5]}} Groups at other WAC schools demanded that Wyoming be dropped from their schedules.[6] At the time of the incident in mid-October, the Cowboys were undefeated {{nowrap|(4–0)}} and ranked 16th in the {{nowrap|AP poll.[7]}} {{nowrap|Even though}} they beat {{nowrap|BYU 40–7,[8]}} and San Jose State (the next game) without the players to improve {{nowrap|to 6–0,[9]}} Wyoming lost all four road games in November and went {{nowrap|1–9}} the next year which prompted Eaton's removal as coach, though he stayed on as assistant {{nowrap|athletic director.[10]}} The program had only one winning season in the 1970s, in 1976 under Fred Akers, who then returned to the University of Texas. The names of the Black 14: Earl Lee, John Griffin, Willie Hysaw, Don Meadows, Ivie Moore, Tony Gibson, Jerome Berry, Joe Williams, Mel Hamilton, Jim Issac, Tony McGee, Ted Williams, Lionel Grimes, and Ron Hill. [11] Three of the underclassmen returned to play for the Cowboys in 1970: Griffin, Meadows, and {{nowrap|Ted Williams.[10]}} McGee transferred to Bishop College in Dallas, Texas, was a third round selection in the 1971 NFL Draft, and played fourteen seasons for three NFL teams. The "Black 14" incident spurred the court case Williams v. Eaton, with the issue of free speech against the principle of separation of church and state. Litigation was lengthy for this case and ended on October 31, 1972.[12] Schedule{{CFB schedule| rankyear = 1969 | poll = AP poll |{{CFB schedule entry | date = September 20 | w/l = w | rank = | opponent = Arizona | site_stadium = War Memorial Stadium | site_cityst = Laramie, WY | score = 23–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = September 27 | w/l = w | rank = | nonconf = y | away = y | opponent = Air Force | site_stadium = Falcon Stadium | site_cityst = Colorado Springs, CO | score = 27–25 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 4 | w/l = w | rank = 19 | opponent = {{cfb link|year=1969|team=Colorado State Rams|title=Colorado State}} | gamename = rivalry | site_stadium = War Memorial Stadium | site_cityst = Laramie, WY | score = 39–3 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 11 | w/l = w | rank = 18 | opponent = UTEP | site_stadium = War Memorial Stadium | site_cityst = Laramie, WY | score = 37–9 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 18 | w/l = w | rank = 16 | opponent = BYU | site_stadium = War Memorial Stadium | site_cityst = Laramie, WY | score = 40–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 25 | w/l = w | rank = 16 | nonconf = y | homecoming = y | opponent = San Jose State | site_stadium = War Memorial Stadium | site_cityst = Laramie, WY | score = 16–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 1 | w/l = l | rank = 15 | away = y | opponent = Arizona State | site_stadium = Sun Devil Stadium | site_cityst = Tempe, AZ | score = 14–30 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 8 | w/l = l | rank = | away = y | opponent = Utah | site_stadium = Rice Stadium | site_cityst = Salt Lake City, UT | score = 10–34 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 15 | w/l = l | rank = | away = y | opponent = {{cfb link|year=1969|team=New Mexico Lobos|title=New Mexico}} | site_stadium = University Stadium | site_cityst = Albuquerque, NM | score = 12–24 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 22 | w/l = l | rank = | opprank = 19 | nonconf = y | away = y | opponent = Houston | site_stadium = Houston Astrodome | site_cityst = Houston, TX | score = 14–41 }} }}{{small|Source:}}[13] NFL DraftThree Cowboys were selected in the 1970 NFL Draft, which lasted seventeen rounds (442 selections).[14]
