FSU has been royally pissed off since I was a kid in the 90s. That is their default position.

Exit fees have been negotiated down before. Most famously for the ACC, Maryland wanted to pay $17 million under an old provision, the ACC wanted $52 million new exit feel passed almost assuredly as punishment right before Maryland walked. The ACC simply withheld money until an agreement was settled ($31 million, by far the largest exit fee up to that point).

But a GOR is not an exit fee. It has a monetary value, but it represents something more than money. It was created by media and conferences to ensure their investment. No media company or conference wants to see the GOR breaking point because it opens up Pandora’s box. Which is not to say we won’t see it at some point, but before FSU is on the hook for $40 million/year to Wall Street or the Saudi princes or whomever, they better be dang sure they have a spot ready for them because they won’t be making friends in the process.
