I think overall college endowments basically show the willingness of donors to give the university money.  Doesn't necessarily mean they will give to athletics as well as they do to academics, but many capital campaigns have a separate athletics portion/goal to achieve in addition to separate athletic fund drives for particular efforts, usually facilities.  Again, overall giving to the university in terms of academics doesn't necessarily mean there will be as much enthusiasm in giving to athletics, but there is enough evidence to show there is some correlation in this regard if not necessarily a causation.

And there are endowed coaches and endowed athletic scholarships that help defray the salaries of coaches and of scholarships.  This is where Stanford is way ahead of us and many others.
