Notre Dame and Florida State are committed to the ACC until 2036 :)

Unless OU is leaving, UT-Austin should have no need nor interest to consider changing a successful B12 relationship.

I'm sorry but Notre Dame and Florida State are committed to the ACC until it is far more profitable to be somewhere else. Court decisions on exit fees are well established and the ability of a GOR to hold a school, particularly a state school, has yet to be determined and for the monetary difference of one full year of conference revenue (established) vs the ridiculous penalty for the GOR (heretofore unruled upon by the courts for a state school or a non profit sports entity) will be an interesting challenge waiting to happen. As for N.D. we are talking about 2 games one year and 3 the next so something that can be worked around easily as OOC games).

As for your second comment it is moot since the discussion is predicated upon OU's departure to the Big 10.

I’m not a lawyer and can’t pretend to understand the full ramifications of GORs. But I don’t believe that ESPN would welcome a move of ND to the BIG...or FSU to the SEC. It’s not just the ACC, but also ESPN that would put up a fight. In addition, the BIG also uses a GOR to stabilize its BTN asset. If you are willing to litigate, there are many options...but the litigants may also create lots of unintended damage.
