Your questions are why you don't hear any real powers talking about leaving.  You only hear loud mouths, lazy reporters and internet fans talking as if they are sitting in the meetings.

There is much more information that the real decision makers see than the "it's obvious this is how it will go down" who list three elements that their "wisdom" is based on.  While the three elements are often in the mix, they are only a small part of the decision.

The Alleged seven are probably pure speculation as a solidified group,  Most people agree that the SEC is not significantly interested in NCState and VATech, let alone some others.  Neither has been high on the B1G targets list going back 15 years.   This indicates that neither has been promised a landing spot.  Further, every ACC, B1G, Pac12 and Big12 school has seriously looked into the GOR as well as all 5 P-5 conferences, the networks (including streamers) and many law firms looking to make money; nobody has found an easy way to challenge it.  It is safe to say that if the GOR was reasonably easy to challenge, the courts would be full of cases right not.  Not one known case has been brought to challenge the GOR of any conference.  Sure, they can be challenged but the agreements are written to strongly discourage a challenge.

Finally, while anyone can speculate the GOR matter between teams and even conferences, yet know one has even attempted to provide an halfway decent explanation of how ESPN, Fax, and other networks are not protected by the GORs.  The networks own the broadcast rights and any action by the conferences or teams does not force the networks to lose their rights for the duration of the GOR.  Unless all parties are happy, the GOR will not be broken easily.
