Most at that time wanted FSU and Miami to form a Super Conference. Hoping to later add Texas and OK. Some thought UT would never come unless the SEC allowed A&M to be a token member.

The original plan as I remember it was Arkansas, Texas, and A&M. Ann Richards, a Baylor grad, was the governor of Texas and she got the legislature involved in blocking the Texas schools.
The SWC hadn't officially imploded at the time. She could stop the Texas schools from leaving, but couldn't stop Arkansas.
Got that from a guy named Frank. He was kind of a big deal in Arkansas in those days.
