@Will Stewart asked Coach last year, and he said 'not likely'.
Outside of Notre Dame, the ACC appears to be firm on no other partial membership. Here's the Q&A from the article (linked below).
VTDante: What is the ACC doing to support the participating schools, and is there the possibility of expanding wrestling membership outside of current conference members?
Pylons: Is there potential for growth within the ACC (non-wrestling schools adding the sport)? Is bringing in existing D1 programs as “affiliate” wrestling-only members an option?
VPIGUY: I would think the ACC Network provides some great incentive for smaller programs to gain exposure and revenue and help the ACC at the same time.
Robie: That’s not likely, in my opinion. The ACC doesn’t have what you call affiliate members in other sports that I’m aware of, so I think it’s likely that it’ll be the same six teams participating in wrestling in the ACC, unless another school decides to add wrestling, which is very unlikely.
