Just because that new building cost $200M, it doesn’t mean the guy’s name who’s on it donated all of that. Where football coaches have very large salaries (EDIT: compared to peer schools), those salaries are paid by athletic department revenue and boosters.

The guy probably did donate all of that but keeping these buildings open running and maintained with university maintenance workers is expensive as heck
