Notre Dame is not going to join the ACC before 2027 IMO. Unless their TV deal with NBC has an opt-out clause the lawsuit to clean up those TV rights there would be too much blood in those fights that I am not going to even start on it as NBC would never give Notre Dame to ESPN/ABC. I do think that eventually realignment will cause ND to join a conference and in 2027 I think that is the best bet. As I have said the Notre Dame for all intents and purposes has given the ACC the proverbial verbal to join the conference but the until the LOI is signed they aren't a member. I don't see ND ever joining the B1G, P-12, Big XII, or SEC but the ACC has a while to go before they join the conference as a football member. The only conference I see expanding in the near future is the Big XII and I think they need to make sure Texas wants to stay after the GOR expires I think in 2018 or so. Texas may want to move to the Pac-12, SEC, B1G or see if they can get the ND deal with the ACC as Texas A&M continues to rake money and influence in Texas with Johnny Manziel. If the Big XII expands I see them adding two atleast from BYU, Cincinnati, South Florida, Central Florida. The fact that Big XII pays good money to its members is because TCU and WVU don't get full payments till 2018 and once they have to feed 10 mouths equally their per team amount will go down which our WVU-jihadists never admit and a conference title game in JerryWorld would likely add revenue to the Big XII.
