Administrative History
A National Collegiate Athletic Association-affiliated Division I-A athletic association, the Big 8 Conference was originally called the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association when it formed in 1907. The charter members were the University of Kansas, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Iowa (which held joint membership with the Western Conference) and Washington University in St. Louis.
The Big 8 dissolved in 1996. In February 1995, the Big 8 and the Southwest Conference reached an agreement to form a new conference called the Big 12. The members of the Big 8 (University of Nebraska, Iowa State University, University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, University of Missouri, University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University) joined with Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, and Texas Tech to form the Big 12.
