I'm almost always up for some Domer hate.

I really don’t care. But some people do.
  • I like to see historic powers flail about.  It makes me feel better about my almost-but-not-quite top ten all-time program. 
  • I've described before the apparent anti-Domer sentiment in bygone eras, which I believe arose from Louisiana Catholics who felt like ND was being forced on them, as if they weren't being good Catholics if they didn't eschew their home state school and instead root for ND.  Cajuns are an ornery bunch, and if they felt pressure to support ND--real or perceived--they were a likely group to rebel against it and go the other way and hate them.  This, imo, eventually seeped into the fanbase at large....it kind of became a vaguely Louisiana thing to do, to be irked by ND as well as root for LSU.  Although the former is significantly further down the scale in intensity.  In turn, it seeped into me.  I don't have a real reason for disliking Notre Dame.  It's kinda just how everybody is, where I'm from.  
  • They did hoodwink us into thinking BK was a good coach, so there's that.  Even if that's our bad and not theirs, it's more fun to blame them anyway.  And Canada.  
  • It's sports, I don't really have to be rational.

Seems like the Aggies would be higher on an accurate list like that.

Also, if accurate.....wow. 

#1 spent over $100 million more than #4.

Those are from open records and public filings for public universities so I assume they're "accurate."  At least, on their face.

But I'm not sure we can use the word "spent" since they're an accounting of donations rather than spending.

I looked at the source article on al.com (here) and it doesn't make any distinctions about the types of donations or their purposes.  So it's possible that it's not all desginated toward operations, rather some of those donations could be for capital improvement projects and the like.  I know that for the time period referenced (fiscal 2025, so July 2024 through June 2025), Texas was doing some fundraising for a couple of different athletics building projects, and that might account for some of the disparity.
