While rumors picked up this week linking Clemson and Florida State to the Big 12 Conference, fans of the Clemson Tigers have been especially vocal in their interest in joining the Big 12 Conference, notably on X.
Of course, we are a long ways away from anything happening on this front, it’s the time of year when rumors run wild, and fans have fun until we finally get to college football Saturdays in the fall.
Here’s what some Clemson fans are posting on X this week.
Big 12 is the best conference on Twitter. See yall soon

I truly believe that if Big 12 twitter makes enough memes about it we can actually land FSU and Clemson

In an interview with John Kurtz at Big 12 Media Days on Wednesday, Yahoo! Sports’ Ross Dellenger said that there are “early conversations” between the Big 12 and a couple of ACC schools looking to leave the league.
“There is at least early conversation between the Big 12 and those schools about the possibility,” Dellenger told Kurtz. “I don’t know that it’s anything serious yet because they do have to get out of the ACC, whether that’s through a settlement or a court ruling. So, we could be months, or even years away from something, but that does seem to be one of the possibilities, is the Big 12.”
While it’s still too early to determine what the future holds for the likes of Clemson, Florida State, and the ACC, fans appearing to be warming up to the idea of a new future conference.
