If it is merit based, then it could work. So if Wake goes 8-4 and FSU goes 6-6, Wake gets more money. But that doesn't seem to be what is in discussion, and it wouldn't be a significant amount of money.

That being said, unequal revenue sharing does nothing to really address the issue. Even if FSU gets $12M more per year, they are still way behind the SEC schools. So what is the point? They still will be looking to eventually leave for more money if given the opportunity.

Which brings up the point, what is the motivation for a school like SU to agree to unequal revenue sharing? It is in SU's best interests to keep a full share of the pie and not give up crumbs to FSU.

FSU cannot go leave anytime soon. Why keep them happy the next 10 years if they are going to leave you anyway in 12 years? And that is assuming that FSU has options, which might not even be the case. Giving up money to FSU makes your own Athletic Department worse short term and does nothing to improve your long term situation.

I would be extremely disappointed if SU agreed to it.
