No, Clemson isn't going to voluntarily give up their revenue into the mid-thirties to avoid playing a basketball school in football once every four years. Considering the only way UConn would be joining is if Notre Dame have up independence (and they won't) - No, adding Notre Dame and UConn's football teams would not cripple any ACC programs.

Serious question: How would UCONN be a more appealing pairing with Notre Dame than ... Cincinnati? Or West Virginia? WVU would cause another heated spat over academics, because admission of WVU would be the equivalent of shooting academics in the head repeatedly. But I think that would only strengthen Cincinnati's case as the compromise candidate and geographical bridge to South Bend.

WVU's academics are still better than Louisville's and they are in the ACC so I don't see that as a barrier for entrance like it was 20 years ago.

The WVU football brand has actually grown stronger over the past 15 years while UConn has atrophied from its Fiesta Bowl season. They are a quality A5 addition.
