Six in a conference is not preferred. Neither the MAC or ACC are likely to get to six or eight..
The MAC adding a couple affiliates to form a conference is entirely feasible. BC bailing on Hockey East and Notre Dame leaving the B1G (which is actually a really good fit for them in hockey) so they can start a conference with some G5 schools and a couple startups is a big stretch.
Notre Dame played in a hockey conference with Umass-Lowell and DII Merrimack. At least all the teams except Oakland would be FBS. BC hasn't had problems associating with those and Vermont, UNH, and Maine. The hockey world doesn't have many options. BC's option might be to leave the ACC so it isn't forced on them.
