Hopefully this makes everyone feel a little better.

"Virginia Tech's Jim Weaver and Virginia's Craig Littlepage said this week their programs are happy in the ACC, believe the league is as strong as ever and think the new television contract with ESPN is a big plus for the conference.
Both dismissed persistent internet rumors that Clemson and Florida State are about to bolt for the Southeastern Conference." (Hopefully that also applies to the Big 12)
"I think the commitment of the 12, soon to be 14, institutions to each other is stronger than it's ever been," Littlepage said, referencing the upcoming additions of Pittsburgh and Syracuse. "A lot of the chatter and rumors that are going on is unfounded. No one is talking about other conferences. No other conferences have been in touch with schools from the ACC."

Equally strong comments recently from Miami and GT.
Of course, they are clearly out of the loop.
The "dude" and others of equally impressive stature have said it's a done deal: just the paperwork needs to be completed.
