Big 12 Conference
(Big 12)
History
The conference was officially formed on February 25,
1994, when all eight members of the Big Eight Conference
joined with four schools in Texas from the Southwest
Conference.[2]Athletic competition in the conference
commenced on August 31, 1996. Although (at the time
of its formation) the Big 12 was composed of the old
Big Eight plus the four Texas schools, it regards itself
Established 1996 as a separate conference (as opposed to an enlarged Big
Association NCAA Eight) and does not claim the Big Eight’s history as its
own. However, several college sports history sources

First the University of Colorado at Boulder announced
Locations its plans to join the Pacific-12 Conference, and then later
the University of Nebraska–Lincoln accepted an invita-
tion for the Big Ten Conference. This effectively forced
the discontinuation of the divisional format, as the NCAA
requires at least twelve teams in a conference to hold
a football playoff between division winners. The Confer-
ence retained the "Big 12" name and logo despite drop-
ping to ten teams,[3] a decision ostensibly similar to the
Big Ten Conference’s choice to keep its name after its
membership increased first to eleven and then to twelve.
