1) There is an athletic endowment, which is shockingly small compared to our peer organizations/rivals, and desperately needs help from anyone reading this post *cough cough* 
2) If you think that your earmark has a tangible impact on how the money is actually spent (at any organization), you're either a very large donor, or you're living a lie. Effectively moving money from one fund to another is far from complicated. It takes a 3rd grader half a box of crayons to figure out how weight unallocated money (which does exist) in a way that balances out allocated money (which to your point, also exists) to achieve an end result that approximates how the money would be spent if it was all unallocated.

Yes, the money nominally doesn't change funds/budgets, but call a rose whatever you want, and it will still be a rose.

The only real way to have say for certain is to give enough money to throw off the balance between allocated and unallocated monies, and more power to you if you can swing that kind of donation. But even then, there's nothing that you can (or should) do to deprive the university of a couple hundred thousand dollars of float between the academic side and the athletic side.
