While the rumors surrounding Florida State and Clemson’s search for a new home in conference realignment appear to be circling around the Big 12, for now, rumors are all there is.
Still, that didn’t stop the UCF Knights football program from posting clips from EA Sports’ newest release, College Football 25, taking down their hypothetical future Big 12 opponents.
According to a report from Jason Scheer, the senior editor and publisher of WildcatAuthority.com on 247Sports, there is an “internal belief” in the Big 12 that the league will add Clemson and Florida State within the next year. Should that prediction come true, the next wave of conference realignment could position the Big 12 Conference in a place to add the pair of ACC heavyweights, as well as a few notable others, including combinations of North Carolina, Miami, Duke, Louisville, NC State, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, and more who would all likely consider a future change given the timeline of the Pac-12’s demise.
Rumors have been swirling about the Big 12 pursuing Florida State and Clemson in the event that the ACC suffers a similar demise to that of the Pac-12, which likely fueled UCF’s decision to load up a game against the pair of schools.
While the posts appear to be nothing more than an admin having a bit of fun with the UCF audience, one statement remains true: the Big 12 is definitely still open for business.
