Is Clemson leaving the ACC? Amid FSU to Big 12 rumors, analyzing the options for Brett Yormark in his Big 12 expansion plans

Clemson Tigers are the only non-Southeastern Conference team to win a national championship since 2015. The team leaving the ACC seems like more of a possibility than ever, and the program could be part of the Big 12 expansion.

According to Jack McGuire of Barstool Sports, the question will be answered soon as they are one of four teams set to join the Big Ten.

McGuire went on to add that the locker room had not been notified of a decision as of Sunday night. This will be a major shift for the ACC if it loses one of its elite programs.

ACC's loss to be Big 12's gain?

There will be questions raised about college realignment if this goes into effect. Clemson has one of the most successful programs in terms of winning and developing talent in the nation. However, if they join the Big Ten, Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark will need to figure things out.

One potential move could be to poach the Seminoles. The ACC should consider expanding itself with the Pac-12 to form one superconference, as neither has shown the potential to grow individually.

It is going to be interesting to see as the Big 12 have already received a commitment from Colorado Buffaloes, and they are going to need to figure out another program to keep the conference at an even number of teams. It was reported yesterday that Arizona Wildcats could be on the move to the Big 12, and that really helps the conference continue its expansion.
