One doesn't have to terminate the other
As I understand it, if the ESPN agreement is terminated, it doesn't necessarily mean that the GOR is also terminated, but as a practical matter the GOR would be rendered completely ineffective because the ESPN media rights would no longer exist and there would therefore be no monetary penalties associated with the departure of an ACC member school.
By the way, the GOR states that the Term ends on June 30, 2027. I have been assuming, like everyone else, that extending the ESPN agreement also triggers an extension of the GOR, but I haven't seen any language that actually makes that explicit. Can anyone point us to that language and does it exist in a document signed by an authorized representative of each member school?

Does anybody have EVIDENCE that the ACC GOR is bound to the ESPN contract?

GOR Paragraph 1 seems pretty clear to me (pic inside)

They were written together, but nothing stating they’re bound I can see.

Seems like they're bound, but you can't just look at part of a contract.**

They could be. I just don’t have enough evidence to be certain of that.**

Is it bound? Depends on whose lawyer you listen to.**

The ACC GOR was based on the b12 GOR, that much is irrefutable (I think).

Bound as n the GOR ends if the ESPN agreement ends, that’s not stated there
