Theyre also looking to increase graduation rates and research dollars, which is going to cost a good chunk of money. Not to mentioned the state will probably lower their support which will cost a good chunk of money as well

They have to spend the returns on $577 to pay for the football team staying independent, so the growth to $1B has to come solely from new gifts

As an aside, I noticed many prominent universities belong to the ORAU. I also noticed that Florida, Texas and North Carolina are well represented while not one school from California belongs. Just curious if any of these other associations are as important as AAU. I think only Yale and UMass-Lowell from New England are members.
