I don't think Flagship status would matter that much....
if the B1G could get into Florida, one of the most populated states. They didn't add the Flagship university in California... yet. Maybe they add Cal-Berkeley soon? The AAU qualification would mean little if the B1G could get into Florida and SEC country.
As long as the ACC has its GOR, the B1G and SEC won't be interested. The B1G will likely raid the Pac-12 and possibly a school in the Big 12, but I think that they'll get to 20 by going west. IMHO, I think the B1G has cooled off on Notre Dame. Iowa State makes sense but I don't see them in the B1G's plans. They add no value. Kind of like if the SEC added Texas Tech or Baylor. They simply don't need them. Like everyone here knows, the B1G and SEC would love to raid the ACC but that pesky GOR is preventing it. John Swofford wasn't a good conference commissioner, but his GOR is saving the ACC momentarily. Who would of thunkit? ;)
