There actually is debate about that. Notre Dame has "religious/ethical" issues with the B!G academic format and they must surrender all 3rd Tier rights to the conference network. If Notre Dame has decided conference affiliation makes more financial sense to them, they have more flexibility in the Big XII concerning those rights.
While I agree ND has the look and feel of B!G, that may not be the overriding factor. Throw in the relationship between Texas and Notre Dame, and saying "there's not much debate about that" isn't very objective.
