I think Notre Dame would join the ACC in a heartbeat in an arrangement like the Big East has.  But I'm honestly not sure what benefit that is for the ACC.  Notre Dame would bring nice Lacrosse Teams, but the rest of their sports are just fine in the Big East in their current configuration.   The ACC would need to have some commitment for Football in order for this to be worth the ACC's time.   Notre Dame would get to showcase their football team on the eastern seaboard and south on a regular basis.    This will need to be worked out to allow them to continue the USC and Navy Games along with rotation through Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, and Purdue.  I think the ACC would need to go back to 8 games.
 
I've consistently heard Rutgers and UConn as the other choices for 16 with some interest in Penn State as a long shot for obvious reasons.  Louisville and West Virginia are brought up by Clemson and FSU fans as you mention.  Thier athletic departments fit.  Their academics don't.   The benefit of Rutgers is everything you mention.  It would be interesting to understand the ACC expansion committee's thinking with these.  I'm sure that they have all been reviewed.  I think we do know one member's view, the BC Athletic Director.  He would not prefer UConn.
