FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas often felt like an outsider in the Southwest Conference.
The Razorbacks were a charter member of the SWC more than a century ago, but after Oklahoma State left in 1925, Arkansas spent more than 65 years as the only non-Texas team in the league. The University of Arkansas voted to leave the SWC in 1990 and had made a full transition to the Southeastern Conference within two years.
Between the time Arkansas left and the conference’s final game in 1996, the SWC established a hall of honor that inducted 30 members. Perhaps a bit scorned from the Razorbacks’ departure, no Arkansans were inducted into the hall.
