It's a sign of resources. Resources = facilities and paychecks.
it is not a resource that comes anywhere near the athletic department, or even the football team

How does this not translate to you?
I dont think you know what the endowment is. its academic and research related

What do you call USC endowments of the 22 scholarships for the starters then? Being a private school though they can do things different.

Look at the Top 10 endowments in the country. Look at the public schools and Notre Dame that have the largest endowments. The list is mostly comprised of Ivy League schools plus Stanford. Michigan, Notre Dame, A&M are also on that list. Two of those have arguably the most successful football programs in the history of the sport. The other is A&M. But when your school has those types of resources, it's a helluva good job to be in. Because they'll pay you top dollar. And in A&M's case, you don't have to win more than 8 games a year to keep everyone relatively content.

I'm not implying the endowment is paying for the athletics. For God sakes. A public school that has a $10 billion dollar endowment is going to have resources for athletics. See the University of Michigan and Notre Dame in terms of football history.

How is LSU a better job than UGA for a coach? Your fanbase is insufferable. UGA is a lot more patient. Richt would have been fired from LSU about 5 times already. At least be unbiased in your analysis.
We have a better talent pool. They have more players in GA but ours are just better on the field

Yes because they are research and academic. The "endowments" are nothing related to the AD's. it has no effect on the amount of money(resources) paid to a coach, program, etc...

and see the numerous other schools that disprove this. The vast majority of schools with the largest endowments have the weakest or no programs

University of Chicago and their 8 billion dollar endowment did win the first Heisman in 1932 though

I don't even know why we're having this debate. This is ridiculous.
A public school that takes athletics seriously that has mega resources like A&M or Michigan is going to be able to reimburse a coach as well as anyone. And a school that has those resources with very little expectation is a great job to be in. If you are able to amass an endowment that large as a public school that focuses on football, then you're also likely amassing a war chest to make sure your facilities and coaches are the biggest and most well paid.

Only place in the country that will unload tons of money on their football program and be happy with 4th in their division.

Harvard has a 35 billion dollar endowment. They're also Ivy League and care little to nothing about athletics in the grand scheme.
But I digress.
A&M is the best job anyone can have.

I was merely correcting your incorrect assumption. I am not sure why you continue to believe it to be true

correct resources not pertaining to the endowment

no, just no.
Do you know how AD's and Endowments are financed at all?
