Not that I can recall.  And I highly doubt that there would be any significant difference in terms of a media evaluation between SU, Pitt, and UConn to make a difference to the ACC.

From that time though a tweet from David Glenn at the ACC Journal, about a week before the ACC invites came, said that the ACC would ask SU and Texas and that if Texas declined, Pitt would get the invite.

So obviously if they did any evaluations at that time, Texas would have added great value.  And if they were talking with Texas and doing an evaluation of them, then you can be assured the ACC asked for an evaluation of ND as both a full and partial member, just as the Big 12 would do shortly after the ACC expanded with SU and Pitt.

The media response to the Big 12's request supposedly was that none of Cincy, BYU, Louisville, etc moved the needle enough to make a difference in their already $20 million per team TV contract.  But ND would increase the value.

Cheers,
