There were 2 major votes: Headquarters and commish. CU voted against KC and Mizzou voted against Frederick. The old Big 8 schools couldn't band together. Only KSU-Kan-ISU-Nubs stuck together.
The Big 8 needed the SWC to survive obviously, but thank god Texas demanded to only bring ATM, Tech and Baylor. The original agreement was to bring all 8 of them inc Rice, Houston, SMU, etc.....
