August 7th: On this date...

..... in 1990, the SEC was in the early stages of adding an 11th team to its conference. The Arkansas Razorbacks left the Southwest Conference after 76 years when they realized their conference was heading down the toilet. The 12th team would be added that September. The SEC chose South Carolina over Miami, FL. The new SEC would be split into two divisions, East and West, and would begin play as an expanded league in 1992. The basketball season would be cut to 16 games in conference, down from 18. Just a few years after joining the SEC, the 1994 Arkansas Razorbacks basketball team would win the NCAA Championship. It was the league's first NCAA Title since Goose Givens led your Wildcats to the top in 1978.
