The ACC doesn’t control 5 ND games.
They schedule 5 games for ND with ACC opponents.
NBC controls the ND home games either 2 or 3 per season.
The Clemson-Notre Dame game which was the highest rated regular season game last year was on NBC last year not ESPN or ABC.

ESPN would allow an asset they control 100% to be picked apart by another asset they control 100% because in the end they would not have pay asset market rate if the other asset becomes less valuable.

ESPN isn’t going to tell the SEC to back off the ACC if the ACC schools could be poached.
The benefit the ACC has is that none of their members are appealing to the SEC except UNC/UVA/VPI.

The SEC isn’t interested in the ACC teams already in an SEC state.
ESPN isn’t going to save the ACC from the SEC it’s just the SEC isn’t going to be interested in ACC teams.

The ACC has some security for now but the conference is clearly 3rd by a long distance from either the SEC or Big Ten.
