FAYETTEVILLE -- This weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the University of Arkansas accepting an invitation to join the SEC.
On Aug. 1, 1990, it became official that Arkansas -- a member of the Southwest Conference since 1915 -- would be moving to the SEC after a vote from the UA board of trustees followed the recommendation of Athletic Director Frank Broyles.
"I expect a major upheaval," Broyles said of the college football landscape.
Arkansas was the first domino to fall in what since has become constant movement among major colleges.
South Carolina, an independent, in 1991 joined Arkansas in going to the SEC and making it a 12-member conference for football starting with the 1992 season.
