Not likely. Revenue sharing is not equal in the Big Twelve. It is an academic stepdown from the ACC and gives no competitive advantage
to the Seminoles in any of the major sports. It also damages the rivalry between the Canes and Noles that sells tickets in the State.

The new Big XII contract is equal sharing...and significantly larger than the ACC contract for a school with a 2.4 million dollar shortfall in the athletic budget. Making the athletic department self-sufficient would be useful to a school that's had a 30% state budget cut in recent years.

I'm not familiar with FSU and their academics. However, if they view themselves as a football school first, the Big 12 makes sense. Not to mention, they are playing 3rd fiddle to Duke and UNC in basketball. I gotta imagine that hurts their ego a little bit.
But, as mentioned by bronconick, it's all about the benjamins.

Virginia Commonwealth left the Colonial to join the A-10 today, joining Butler. That's two nice schools replacing Temple.
More regional to here, sorry for that.
