Notre Dame is an elite university and its alums are extremely arrogant. There is literally zero chance they are going to join a conference and become academic chums with the likes of Texas Tech, West Virginia, and the Oklahoma schools, not to mention lose some traditional football rivalries.
B1G makes the most sense, but I could see a scenario where Notre Dame spurns them for the ACC to pair up with schools like Duke, UNC, Boston College, and Georgia Tech if they feel Delaney and company are trying to force them to join.

ACC has to get through their own struggle right now. The ACC can't get a contract to put itself in competition with the other four. So, if the ACC comes apart, Notre Dame isn't going to join that. If the ACC stays together, it likely means the new format is friendly towards an independent Notre Dame. I don't think the ACC is a serious home for ND, despite the ACC's well deserved academic reputation.
