This is bull.  The Big 10 has expanded East with Penn St., Rutgers, and Maryland and West with Nebraska and most ND students come from Big 10 country or states that border Big 10 country.

Top 17 states ND undergrads come from (source:  collegefactual.com)

1) Illinois  268 students
2) California  174
3) Ohio  140
4) Indiana  130
5) Pennsylvania  110
6) Texas  106
7) New York  102
8) Michigan  92
9) New Jersey  85
10) Florida 75
11) Wisconsin  57
12) Virginia  56
13) Minnesota  55
14) Massachusetts  53
15) Missouri  50
16) Colorado  43
17) Maryland  41

Big 10 states:  Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Maryland
States that border Big 10 states:  New York, Virginia, Missouri, Colorado

So, 13 out of the top 17 states that ND students come from are Big 10 states or states that border Big 10 states.  The Big 10 seems like a better fit than the ACC if your criteria is their student body composition.
