I'm sure it is.  There are a couple of critical points that your statements excludes however:

[*]The ACC han't changed anything (beyond composition of the conference, which all member schools had to opportunity to vote one, when it came to pass [B][I]and[/I][/B], the ACC had altered its payout methodology to appease schools that [I][B]earn[/B][/I] more of the revenues.  The AAC's initial media contract did not include tier 3 content.  Everey member outside of UConn provided zero value with this while UConn was able to make a reasonable amount from local broadcasts of non conference women's basketball games.  The subsequent contract (which led to UConn investigating a return to the BE) handed tier 3 rights to ESPN with an equal revenue distribution to all member schools (and bragging about the value they were receiving for tier 3).
[*]The ACC's revenue sports as a whole are not dominated by FSU and Clemson.  In fact, with the second highest earning sport, neither school would crack the conference's top five in terms of market value.
