Two points about that $20M

Others have already pointed out the likely inaccuracy of that $20M, but let us assume it is correct.

1. $20M represents 0.15% of Notre Dame's endowment.
2. Notre Dame just spent $500M on a stadium expansion...err...I mean...University multi-use building.

If Notre Dame wants to spend the money to get the best coaches and improve the results for the sports teams at the school, Notre Dame can do it. We have the money and we have demonstrated we will spend it on athletics. What I question on the stadium expansion is if it was really motivated towards giving the football team the right resources to be successful or to help increase football ticket revenues.
