	Big Eight Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Big Eight Conference, a former NCAA-affiliated Division I-A college athletic association that sponsored American football, was formed in January 1907 as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA) by its charter member schools: the University of Kansas, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, and Washington University in St. Louis.
		The conference membership remained unchanged until the addition of the University of Colorado in 1948 from the Skyline Conference (a forerunner of the Western Athletic Conference).
		The conference remained essentially unchanged until 1996, when the eight member schools combined with four former members of the now-defunct Southwest Conference (Baylor University, University of Texas, Texas AandM University, and Texas Tech University) to form the Big 12 Conference.
