What evidence do you have to support that? If you are correct that would defeat FSU and Clemson argument that the exit fee and GOR buyout are a penalty.

Regarding the notion that schools like Louisville would make more money if they left the ACC, where do you think they are going?  Right now the ACC and the big 12 are essentially a wash (and when the ACC escalator clauses kick in, the ACC is scheduled to earn slightly more).  Why would any entity leave, which entails significant risk, and possibly exit fees and a GOR buyback income is going to, at best, stay flat. It doesn't make economic sense.

Your game theory argument doesn't incorporate a risk factor and also ignores the value of the buyout. That changes the risk reward of abandoning the conference.

Finally I'd respectfully suggest that imagining that the terms of the conference agreement is going to be ignored, and instead the parties will embrace the Pac 12 settlement, kind of seems like magical thinking to me.  it seems more reality based to assume the terms of the contract will be enforced until you can find a compelling argument why they will not.
