Rumor: Four ACC schools finalizing joining FSU and Clemson in the Big 12

Four ACC schools are reportedly finalizing a deal to join FSU and Clemson in the Big 12 according to long-time college football radio host Greg Swaim -- who claimed that the Big Ten and SEC won't be adding new members anytime soon.

"Working to verify a report from two staffers that at least four ACC schools have agreed in principle to join Clemson and FSU in their exit, and likely to the Big12," Swaim prefaced before saying, "Also continuing to hear unanimously that the B1G and SEC will not be adding anytime soon."

Swaim has previously reported that every new prospective Big 12 team, including FSU and Clemson, will get the same pay as the rest of the conference because of what Texas and Oklahoma did to them despite getting special privileges.

"As we've said for a year, FSU and Clemson will not get a B1G offer, due to neither being AAU accredited," Swaim prefaced before saying, "But from Vegas the talk is the SEC has now turned the pair down. With new sponsorship the B12 probably won't pay quite what the other two do, but with those two they'll pay double what the ACC does.

Colorado, Utah, ASU, Arizona, UCF, Cincinnati, Houston and BYU came to Big 12 at the right time

Things couldn't have worked out better for all the incoming Big 12 teams in 2023 (UCF, Cincinnati, BYU, Houston) especially, and to a lesser degree, the Four Corners schools (Colorado. Utah, ASU, Arizona), in getting next-level Big 12 pay.

Not long ago, the conference was fading into the background of the Power 5, and now it's going to be the Power 3 counterpart to the Big Ten and the SEC.

Things changed quickly to make this happen. Especially in recent days.

But the Big 12 is the place to be once this massive coup of the ACC becomes finalized.
