FSU has to fight the ACC, member schools and the networks.  The GORs benefit the conferences, schools and networks. If the GOR is useless, then the networks have no hold on anyone.

Further, if it was as easy as the interwebs morons say it is, it would have been done sooner.  UT, OU, USC (the real one, not Rutgers), and UCLA looked into it and decided to wait it out.  Yes, OU and UT left a year early for a pile of cash and it benefitted everyone.

FSU has no resources to leave early.  They cannot afford the exit fee, $120+MM, let alone the TV rights buyback.  There are too many movies g parts right now.  FSU can huff and puff and threaten to blow the ACC house down but it's just hot air, nothing more.

Anyway, this has been discussed as nauseum.  If FSU could have done they would have done it.

Last point:  Anyone who thinks the price is not high should recall that UNC can write a check and it would be a line item on their books but UNC does not want to write that check.  This, we can conclude that it is too high for their interest.

Things may change in 10 years, but not right now.
