There's no compelling reason for ND to join any conference as an all sports member.  But I wouldn't at all be surprised to see ND shop around their other sports and see who will give them the arrangement that the Big East gives them currently.  Why would they want to stay as partial Big East with their new national dregs, when they could potentially be partial member to someone in the Big 5?
 
The problem becomes, who is willing to give ND what they want and house all their sports but football?  ACC has said no in the past, B1G won't do it.  I'm guessing the Big 12 would in a hearbeat, Texas thinking if they can get one of their feet in the door, they are arrogant to think they convince them to take the other step at some point.  I can see why ND would reach out to the ACC first and say how about you change your mind, we'll play some games against you in football and help you lock up that other spot in a lucrative Orange Bowl (if we're there).
