Even if a school or conference felt they might have a shot of overturning a GOR, the risk of failing to do so is so enormous that it is likely to prevent such an attempt. Remember, by their very nature, these organizations are risk adverse and rolling the dice in this manner is something that Boards of Trustees would be reluctant to do, IMO.

Not really. Schools have gone to court with their conferences or governing parties with mixed results. The bigger issue is that just about all teams who have signed a GOR did so voluntarily. Essentially, you don't sign a GOR if you are planning an escape. THAT is the bigger issue. However taking your conference to court when you are unhappy? That has happened several times in the past few years (West Virginia, Maryland, for example).
