Article states that the grant-of-rights may not be as big of an issue as expected if FSU moves from ACC to SEC since ESPN pays both the ACC & the SEC for broadcast media rights.[/quote]

The GOR is between the schools and the ACC.  ESPN has an agreement with the ACC.  [b]The ACC still owns FSU's media rights is FSU leaves. [/b] That means any money from ESPN goes to the ACC for FSU whereever they are located.  FSU would then get their ACC share.  [/quote]

That is your opinion.

FSU might argue that the $120 million exit fee covers the GOR or they may work out a deal for a settlement.[/quote]

As has been debated here endlessly, the GOR by its terms is separate from the exit fee.  The GOR was the sale until 2036 of the schools' media rights.  There is no argument that the exit fee covers the GOR.  There are not two sides to that point.

On a deal or settlement, sure.  I could see a deal where only FSU left, they flip their vote so Cal, Stanford, and SMU come in and the ACC gets 200-300 million.  I think a bunch of the schools would do that deal today.  But that requires no one else leaving.  Otherwise the schools that will not have any place to go will not agree.  And you need all of them to amend the GOR.[/quote]
