ACC teams that could join Big Ten expansion

North Carolina Tar Heels

The schools mentioned in this article fulfill the AAU accreditation requirement rumored to be part of the Big Ten expansion. The North Carolina Tar Heels are a major program in multiple sports and have a great history. Having Purdue vs. North Carolina could be a fun college basketball matchup and boost the Big Ten.

Miami Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes have a storied legacy, and having Miami as a potential hub of recruits to join the conference is massive news. The Big Ten wants to go national and not be locked in geographically. So this is something that would be beneficial for them. Miami has a good program in multiple big collegiate sports, which adds value to the Big Ten expansion with Miami.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

This one is a bit of a pipedream right now, but Notre Dame is technically a partial member of the ACC. From the college football side of things, The Fighting Irish would have to forego their independent status for the first time in school history. However, the additional money they would get in exchange seems worth it.

Notre Dame receives around $50 million annually from their football media rights through 2029 from NBC. The Big Ten has media rights of about $51.3 million right now, which is similar. On top of that, they can claim a top-four spot in the College Football Playoff if they win the conference.
