I don't believe that's ironic. Harvard and other "elite institutions" are the places with massive endowments, not state colleges or anything. Frankly the more I think about it the more it's nothing particularly interesting, just a fractal representation of the privilege of wealth as far as you want to drill down.

		I don't know why the University of Washington isn't on the list of public institutions, it should be number 6 with 9.4B in assets. https://www.uwinco.uw.edu/

		Lost in the commotion is the chaos that NIL is wreaking on universities and their donation funnels. The donations side of things seems to be rapidly drying up as a revenue source.
