By the way, there are some internet rumblings that the BOT might come out and deny all the rumors of being interested in the Big 12. That isn't necessarily something to be surprised about, but it depends on the words. If its the standard "we're committed to the ACC", "we've had no discussions or contact", etc, no one's going to pay attention to that but ACC homers.

I would be very surprised if they came out very, very strongly, bluntly, and directly to say it would not happen, that would be different and probably stupid on their end.
