Have heard from senior administrator at NCState (cousin) as well as the following from Tallahassee.com that the [B]Big 12 has not contacted any ACC team[/B]  (not sure I believe this) nor is it wanting to expand at this time.  Basis for this is fact that conference is happy with 10 teams--neither Texas nor Oklahoma is supporting expansion at this time...
From Tallahassee.com a Gannett Newspaper: 
“Yes, we did (discuss expansion),” Neinas said. “The athletic directors confirmed their position that they are content with 10 members at the present time.”
“[B]We feel well positioned at this time with 10[/B],” Pollard said. “At the same time, we recognize that the landscape continues to change. We’ll all wait to see what happens with the BCS. But at this point we feel that we are best positioned as a 10-member league."

It appears that as posted in other threads, that the BCS NC discussion coupled with ACC ability to get a bowl and highly competitive team to play against much like SEC/Big 12 will be significant factors in determining what and if expansion will take place this year.
