Found money is still real money. If they spend it on FSU, they have that much less real money. It isn't like they lose the money if it doesn't go to the ACC. The money they spend on FSU is money they can't spend somewhere else.
If it's worth $1,000,000 or whatever to get them, great. Pretending that the money doesn't count because you received a windfall from somewhere else is nonsensical.
