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.

I think FSU was who the SEC wanted most. I don't think Ark was on the radar until FSU decided it was best for them to stay in the ACC.
