- ↑ The name was created when the original Big 8 Conference merged with four Texas universities from the defunct Southwest Conference; subsequently four original member universities left for other conferences (Colorado to the PAC-12, Nebraska to the Big 10, and Texas A&M and Missouri to the Southeastern Conference) while two joined (TCU and West Virginia).
