When Arkansas and South Carolina joined the Southeastern Conference in 1992, it marked a major expansion and reshuffle that would start a tremendous ripple effect through the world of collegiate athletics, particularly college football.
Now a new wave is coming and further restructuring, most notably the additions of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC.
Arkansas left the then nine school Southwest Conference, the lone member of that league not from the state of Texas, which signaled the end of the old SWC. It also was the beginning of the end for the Big Eight, which would become the Big 12.
