There will be no movement from any P5 within the time frame of the current GoRs.
It is not, for example, like the ACC trying to get it's money from Maryland. It could be years before that gets through the last court, and even if the ACC is the final winner, it could be years again before the ACC could collect, if ever.
Maryland in the meantime has so far lost nothing but legal fees.
With a GoR, the media entity (which now owns the rights to the school) has all of the money, which it then disseminates to the school. Unlike an exit fee, which a school is supposed to pay, all present GoR money would withheld from the school if it violated the contract. Further, all
future media monies would be withheld as well. Even IF, and that's a big IF, a school somehow successfully challenged a GoR in court, it could be years, even decades before it saw it's money...if ever.
I don't think any university could afford to vacate all media dollars for the duration of the GoR or even longer.
Therefore, at least in the immediate future, the only movement will be within the G5, or possibly 2 or 3 G5 (Cincy, UConn, Memphis) teams to a P5.
Although the SEC doesn't have a GoR, who in their right mind leaves the SEC?
