Message: [QUOTE="DPCuse, post: 4918267, member: 1309"] A school absolutely can not use their endowment on “whatever” they want. Endowments are legally restricted to be used for the donor’s intended purposes. So that’s off the table. A breakup fee will likely be funded by debt and/or some sugar daddy(s). Hypothetical: I could see FSU and the ACC settling on say $400M to avoid threatening the GOR with FSU retaining their media rights. Maybe donors pull together $100M of that fee. FSU borrows $300M in debt for the rest. The extra $30M a year they get from the annual BIG distribution would service this debt over roughly 15 years (with interest). That’s not so crazy a hole to crawl out of when you break it down like that. [/QUOTE]
