ND is solidly dug in on football independence and has no interest in joining the ACC in that sport, no matter what enticements there may be (short of a P4 conference champ only playoff scenario).

More money is not that relevant. ND fears losing money in withheld alumni donations for surrendering football independence (often threatened by well heeled alumni)in far greater amounts than any additional TV money that ACC football membership might bring.

This is an institutional decision, not an athletic department one. The tail isn't wagging the dog here.

In other words, ND's stance is largely unrelated to athletics at all. It feels that football independence is more valuable to the institution itself, as a whole, than any other type of football affiliation.

Good to know. Schedule flexibility is definitely an advantage of remaining independent, so I can see their point.
