Have you figured out yet that TV deals are NOT paid based on games won - every game played has both a Winner and Loser. They are based, only, on TV viewers. That means that any time ND plays Wake, that game will draw many fewer viewers than ND. vs Clemson, or FSU or Miami, or even Stanford. So ND vs. Clemson is worth FAR more to ESPN, or any other network than ND vs. Wake.

So why will ESPN want ND vs Wake when it can get ND vs Clemson?

Yes indeed, the ACC faces an existential crisis. Either the ACC makes really tough hard-nosed moves, or else the ACC will either be as dead as the SWC or else as permanently weakened and lowered as the Pac.

Agains, I assert with no doubt that when it gets to a final set off programs left in the Top Tier, however may conferences it may have, there are schools currently in the ACC that will not make the cut. Both Vandy and Northwestern will make it, if their leagues say so. But the ACC has nothing close to such power.
