Yes they did. Prior to their defection, conferences were set in stone. I remember thinking, can they do that?
I played golf with two piggies back in 1990. I knew they were piggies by the Razorback wood covers one of them had and the smell. When I asked how they felt about leaving the SWC. They were all blustery; “f*ck Texas” and all that. They couldn’t wait to get to the SEC because Texas referees were always screwing them. They were sure they’d get a better shake in the SEC. Funny thing is, Arky became a nothing after that. They’d been a big fish nationally in the SWC. They should have listened to their old coach, Frank Broyles. When asked about the move, Broyles said; “they cut your throat and drink your blood in the SEC”. He knew what was coming.
