OT: Other conference tournaments

And the Big 8 as we knew it.

Let's also not forget the Southwest Conference. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Arkansas and Rice. SMU, TCU, Texas Tech and Houston were later additions. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State bolted for the Big 8 in the 1960's and the Southwest Conference then added Texas Tech and Houston. Arkansas bolted for the SEC in the 1990's and then TExas, Texas A&m, Baylor and Texas Tech merged with the Big 8 to form the original Big 12.
