Since Notre Dame gets a new media rights contract in 2025, I expect them to make some kind of move in 2024 (we have to be patient). The Irish seem to like their Independence, so unless pressure (real or imagined) is applied, why should they change?

They have to think they might get left out of future playoff opportunities, if they don’t join, one of the two proposed super-conferences. So, in order to motivate ND, the B1G and SEC should act publicly, like they are fully behind the Super-Conference idea, and those that don’t join, “will be on the outside looking in”. Once Notre Dame moves, it should start an avalanche of realignment activity, the collapse of the ACC among them.

I think that this is very bad for the future of the sport, but wonderful if you are a television executive.
I don't think this is feasible, as the B1G and SEC aren't allies when it comes to ND.  Each would take the Irish, which means neither wants ND to go to the other.  
And for the SEC, the status quo = ND not joining the B1G.  Good for the SEC.  

Basically, they're both thinking, "Hey ND, you should join a conference....as long as it's ours."

If ND joined the SEC, I'd be quite shocked.  I think the odds of that are near zero.

I don't think it's an option worth contemplating more than a nanosecond.

ND joining the ACC as a full member would likely make that conference "safe" for a while.

As it is now, it's not safe at all. I could see the B1G and SEC wrecking it pretty easily. All it would take is for the SEC to grab Clemson and FSU. Game over.

I am fairly sure the ND goes to the B1G or nowhere.  The ACC doesn't strike me as a fit in any respect for full.  They are similar academically I suppose.

they could also wreck it by grabbing ND

I don't think the ACC will get a TV deal to share with ND that ND can't get on it's own.

They would probably have to pay ND a double share, and also let ND keep NBC.

They might bend over like that.

One of the options should be ND forming their own conference, cherry picking all the Helmets and near helmets, as a way of ditching all the Vanderbilt and Rutgers types from this future media conglomeration.

The helmet conference would be ND and the usual critters, not that it would happen.

bama isn't leaving the SEC

Ohio St. and Michigan aren't leaving the Big

Now, Texas, USC, and Nebraska might listen if the money was quite a bit better
