interesting what ifs
In theory the new conference (let's say the SEC) can't broadcast the departed team's home games until the end of the GOR because they have no media rights to those games. That's why no one has broken a GOR thus far. So unless the ACC broadcasts the game or unless the SEC buys the game from the ACC, it wouldn't be on air. In the former case, I think the team gets paid at least something if not in full. In the latter, who knows?

Our best move is probably to cling to the GoR and make bank off defectors.
