TCU's AD is, hilariously, trying to walk back his slip.
I checked several sites to verify because I thought this was some kind of onion sports satire.

He said he was simply referring to the "rumor mill" that has speculated about FSU, Miami and Clemson's possible hopes of switching conferences.
"My mouth was hacked," he said, according to the blog. "I know you won't believe me, but it's the truth. Honest. People's Twitter accounts get hacked all the time, and it's obvious that someone got ahold of my vocals and just let loose.
"Believe me, I would never say anything about Florida State's imminent deal to join the Big 12, SEE, it just happened again. Rumor mill, I mean. Rumors THAT things are imminent."

Riiiiight. If he's telling the truth, he is a reckless dumbass. He's in a position to know whats probably going on. If there really, truly, has been no formal contact or even indirect secondary contact, if he's only going on rumors, then he risks embarrassing his new conference. For all he knew, all 3 schools could have released a statement subtly mocking the thought that they'd leave the ACC for the Big 12.
edit: This was apparently satire. A few dumb newspapers ran with it.
