Earlier this week, Jason Scheer of Wildcat Authority reported that the Big 12 is bullish on its chances to add Florida State and Clemson. "According to sources, there is an internal belief in the Big 12 that Florida State and Clemson are likely to join the conference within the next year or so," Scheer wrote on X.
If Florida State is not invited to either the Big Ten or the SEC, the Big 12 would be well positioned to land FSU. "Florida State and Clemson aren’t currently that enamored with the Big 12," McMurphy wrote. "But, then again, neither were Utah and Arizona State until they saw the Pac-12 crumbling before their eyes, and look where they ended up. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
If FSU and Clemson leave the ACC, it's very possible that the ACC could crumble like the Pac-12 did. According to multiple reports, it's Virginia and North Carolina that are the two most coveted schools by the Big Ten and the SEC, not Florida State and Clemson. A FSU-Clemson exit could start a bidding war between the Big Ten, the SEC, and the Big 12 for the ACC castaways.
Even if the ACC collapses and Florida State and Clemson are no longer viable options, the Big 12 could still add some reputable brands to the conference. Teams like Virginia Tech and Miami come to mind. And what happens to Duke? Would they be invited alongside North Carolina? Or could they end up in the Big 12? Adding Duke would add to the Big 12's resume as the best basketball conference.
