Arkansas had talks with joining the Big 8 back in the late 70s.
But Arkansas stopped calling.
Arkansas geographically was closer to the Big 8 schools than the SWC schools.
Arkansas would be a better fit in the Big 8 as Arkansas was treated as an outsider in the SWC.

I never understood any of it. But it worked out for Arkansas in the long run. Hoping we can get some regular home & home games. My wife's extended family are in Arkansas and huge Razorbacks fans.
