I get the feeling that the ACC wants to take UConn right NOW, but that would force them to add another team to balance it out, and no one is really high on Rutgers - which is the only other team in the Big East the ACC would even consider.

The plan is to sit back and wait for ND to finally get fed up with the Big East and see what they do. If they say yes to the ACC, then they invite UConn and they're done. If ND stays independent or goes B1G, then the hand-wringing begins.

I think UConn is going to join without a doubt. Not now, maybe not next year, but they're in - it's just a matter of finding a partner for them.
