Roy Kramer, a true giant and CFB historian yesterday told us about Texas being in the first iteration of the SEC many years ago. News to me.
Then he claimed Arkansas was added from the Big 8.
I guess he just doesn't give much thought to the Piggies. Should we give the old guy a pass?

The dude is like 100. You really expect him to remember shite that happened that long ago? Actually Texas was supposed to join with us but SOMEBODY threw a huge bitch fit about it to keep them from it.

Roy Kramer is an idiot.
Frank Broyles approached the SEC about expanding before anyone else even knew what the hell expansion was.
Broyles wanted out of the SWC because Arkansas was a solid program across the board at the time and was tired of playing shitty teams like Baylor and SMU, etc that didn't sell tickets. He was all about positioning Arkansas to be a more premier program with better revenues and better facilities.
Fla State was supposed to come in from the East, But they chickened out because they knew their era of dominance would end, so then the SEC went to SCar as a backup in the east and they accepted.
