If you were answering me, you misunderstood me.  I happen to agree pretty much 100% with you.  Perhaps I should have stopped after stating that they don't have it, but spend like they do.

Then I admit my verbiage got fuzzy as I mixed 2 points - that part of the reason they spend what they do is that they think there is an endless donation stream they can tap that will just grow if they have a better product, have a better facility, etc - and the separate idea that they don't have oodles of money but that some would argue they get too much of the pie, including (which is how I ran the ideas together) that they get too high a portion of donations that could better support the academic mission.

Being a Rutgers fan - which program is hugely subsidized, and a state school, etc. - made me very aware of all that stuff.  And someone I know long ago - when I was first following college sports - explained just some of the ways that universities cook the books, so to speak.
