Meritocracy is usually a good thing.

Maybe. But I would argue that in a sports league it is better if everyone starts at the same place. The NFL salary cap prevents the Chiefs from stockpiling the best players so “organization excellence” is what permits them to be dominant. A great front office, scouting system, Coach are what allow them to be great, not outspending the NY Jets.

Florida State already has advantages over the rest of the ACC. Giving them more of the pie isnt meritocracy. It’s more like protectionism.

Seems like apples and oranges in terms of the NFL vs CFB...The NFL salary cap is primarily set up so that NFL owners know what their expenses will be. And, it was collectively bargained. And, it fits into the league's system of making parity along with their scheduling system, etc.

Disagree on your last point - protectionism is giving everyone the same amount. And, without an overall spending cap there are other ways ACC schools other than FSU can invest in their programs to the point of being competitive.
