As long as their are at least two conferences that want Notre Dame to join, they will always be able to work out some deal with a conference to maintain access to desirable bowls.  The only thing that will ever truly put them "on the clock" is if either the ACC or Big Ten give up on adding them and move to 16 without Notre Dame; that would kill their leverage and force them to join the other conference.

That said, it would be a strategically horrible decision for Notre Dame to wait that long to join a conference - they should join while they still have multiple options so they can get the best possible deal from their new conference.  As much as everyone bitches and moans about Notre Dame, their business acumen is outstanding (it's why they've gotten such a sweet deal from the Big East, they know what they're doing)...I suspect they are keeping really close tabs on what's going on and will join a conference before they are "forced" to do so.
