Increased endowment spend in one area can impact the athletic tax (or subsidy) indirectly, which directly impacts how much money the AD can pay coaches. I'm also pretty sure that Cal used the general endowment as collateral against which their AD borrowed, allowing the AD to get a better rate, which in turn impacted the quality of investments (i.e. coaching hires) they can afford to make. And lastly, it's a metric of overall strength, that's largely driven by donations, which absolutely does impact coaching salaries and hires. [/QUOTE]
