If you're responding to my above post, I do not think it's likely at all that your GoR gets "broken".  The very concept of it flies in the face of hundreds of years of case law, and also it would require some or all of the Secret 7 to mortgage everybody's future by trying to kill GoRs everywhere.  How much less would the next SEC and B1G contracts be if the Secret 7 somehow killed off the use of GoRs everywhere?  25%?  I'd bet that we would be super appreciative of that and would be very enthusiastic about inviting those schools to join our suddenly much less valuable conferences.

Even if, somehow, the Secret 7 managed to risk it all and succeed, all they'd have earned themselves would be new, smaller conference that paid out less than their old conference b/c nobody could sign a GoR at all.

The only way to "break" the GoR is for all parties to decide that the alternative is better than the old GoR.  Boston College.  FSU.  Wake Forest.  Clemson, Syracuse, etc.  And that's just the ACC.  ESPN also needs to be on board.  And the SEC has to actually want some or many of the Secret 7 (this is assuming that ESPN wouldn't be on board for this if any of the schools wanted to join the B1G).  I think that all of that is a tall ask, but as we get closer to 2036 and schools start thinking more about their future, a combined big 12/ACC (or Pac/big12/ACC, whatever) could look more appealing to the left-behinds than 5 years of glory followed by an eternity of the new AAC.
