Now if the new home was better for UNC Swofford would probably allow them out without recourse...only FSU and Clemson refused to sign the GOR unless it was explicitly stated that a commissioner didn't have that power and that the only allowable exclusion was a unanimous vote by all other league members.

The Big 12 has a GoR as well, but it doesn't put an end to the speculation. I honestly think expansion is on hold outside of the Big 12 deciding to add 2 teams which itself is unlikely if the rumors of Texas being willing to come to the table about transitioning the Longhorn network to a Big 12 network are true.
