Each school granted rights to the ACC who then granted the rights in exchange for the ACCN and as content for the ACCN.  As the ACC gets 50% of the revenue generated by the ACCN removing content  from the ACCN necessarily hurts revenue.

Even if one argues that FSU and Clemson don't appear on the ACCN, the ACC would still need to move other teams to the  ESPN and ABC slots.  Again, hurting revenue.  Recall that the ACC is receiving more than the guarantee and the ACCN has not attained maturity, it is still growing.

Any negotiated settlement will not be at the guarantee.  Due to the  time remaining on the GOR, I imagine the remaining g teams would want a significantly higher multiplier than 2.1 paid by Our and UT for a one yeAr buy back.

And yes, the legal issues are real.  Again, if it was easy, it would have been over and done with.

To your last point, several ACC teams are on the upswing.  Letting FSU and Clemson go early for peanuts is a fool's mistake.  As the ACC improves the value goes up and more teams become attractive to the alleged select two conferences.  Don't t forget that the teams I. The SEC and B1G are going to become mediocre as they are too heavy  with too few wins available to be significant.

This is a very complex issue and probably far more complicated than I am presenting, I simply lack the variables and data available to the real decision makers.
