This is my feeling, too. But, not just that. Schools with booster bases with both money and and lower 'sophistication level' are going to kill it. The kinds of fans who will spend their own tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get more wins for their teams—it seems like that is a certain kind of individual. And i fear 'some types' of schools have more of 'those types' of individuals. It's not really about the endowment size (that's what she said) of the school—it's about the kinds of people who are more likely, en masse, to want to spend their money on college sports wins. It's a sociological thing as well as an economic demographics thing. That's why i think we lose in this deal.

Harvard, Yale, and Stanford are not going to be the big players, although their donors have the most money in the top 4. Texas (not sure how that 'system' works), though, is in the top 5 of endowments, and those people do seem like 'the type.'
