Can you at least name the station and talking head that mentioned this? It really sounds like you pulled this straight out of your arse.

Kind of specific for me to pull this totally out of my arse.
Believe me or not. I don't care. I heard this on the radio.
And like I said a few times before, it's just a rumor and mostly likely not true.

Baylor would be stupid to NOT be putting out feelers. The Big 12 could be a dead conference walking, and everyone is going to be left scrambling if/when Texas bolts for the Pac-12. If Texas feels they cannot compete for the national title on a fair footing with other programs, they will take off, and likely take OU with them. They'll pay off the grant of rights somehow.
It won't happen this year. And it probably won't happen next. But if another Big 12 team gets hosed, the most likely scenario is Texas bolts pre-emptively with OU. OU will take OSU with them, and to go to 16, the Pac-12 will accept either Texas Tech or TCU as a bit of a poison pill (more likely to be Tech because they are a public school).
This leaves the other schools in scramble mode. Kansas likely can find a home in the Big Ten in this scenario, maybe taking KSU with them. I don't know their AAU membership status.
That leaves TCU, Baylor, WVU, and Iowa St trying to either get an ACC or an SEC bid. WVU has an in on the ACC, and the AC might just say WVU and make ND a full member. Baylor needs to start laying the groundwork NOW for the Apocalypse. It's not coming right away, but it is coming. The ACC is a more likely lifeboat than the SEC, which would be even better, but I don't think there's much interest on the SEC's end.
