South Carolina would have probably taken the first offer from the sec or acc. Back than, the acc is thought they were running a private golf club membership instead of an athletic conference.

Conferences weren't expanding like crazy back then. At the start of 1991, only one major or fringe conference had more than 10 members (though that was the year the Big Ten added one to go to 11). The 12 team conference hadn't even arrived yet, at least to D-I.

Conferences were actually composed with sound geography and even academic compatibility in mind. They even thought it was a good idea to try and have a round robin format or close enough.
