that very little of a coach's "salary" actually comes from the university. The base salary is usually six figures; the rest (which can total millions) is stuff that is guaranteed under the contract, but that does not come out of the school's pocket. This can include money for appearing on a weekly highlights show, a shoe contract, commercial endorsements, etc.

And university monies NEVER go into an athletic department. Any money that you hear about a department spending is either from funds that they generated or donations. Athletic Departments are businesses, and the ones that make the most money can then spend the most money. But that money that they are spending isn't being taken away from professors, students, staff, building and grounds maintenance, and so on.
