Maybe one day we'll look back all this speculation about the Florida St. Seminoles and Clemson Tigers joining the Big 12 and laugh, the way we did when everyone thought Oklahoma was going to join Conference USA. Wait, you don't remember that one? Crazy weekend, man. You should've been there.
Big 12 Expansion: Florida State, Clemson Rumors Denied By Texas Officials
Regarding the latest Big 12 rumors, and there are always latest Big 12 rumors to regard, here’s Kirk Bohls:
Texas, Texas Tech school officials dismiss rumors of FSU/Clemson possible exit to Big 12. "First I've heard of it," one high-up says.

Doesn’t mean we should take anything completely off the table, though it’s sort of weird that it’s believed to be on the table to begin with. Unlike almost every other realignment move, this hypothetical one is pretty much a grassroots thing. There’s been not a single report from a non-message board outlet that FSU and Clemson are being courted by the Big 12 or vice versa, yet we’ll all just keep talking about it.
Maybe we should just, like, pretend it’s actually happened. Give the Noles a spot in the Big 12 standings and pretend they’re Holiday Bowl-bound sometimes. That might be fun.
