Another thing that needs to go - coaches getting paid millions a year! Some of these contracts are absurd and hard to justify if a school is struggling or students are struggling to pay for college.

The only coaches getting paid millions are year, are making 10X that for the school.
And their salary is typically paid out of separate fund managed by the boosters.

hint: look at the website for athletics. Even at the Ivies, it's a Dot Com

How much longer will families pay $50k and more a year for higher education for an online experience? Even a hybrid experience? CV19 is a death march for colleges. Athletic programs in the next 5 years are going to look like Hunger Games. Even football and basketball will change, especially with pro-bound athletes looking to make money while in school and then forgoing years of college to go pro. If budgets continue to shrink, athletics as we know it today will be a distant memory.

You can find a school's financials online and I recommend exploring them. See where their income comes from, size of endowment, etc. Now more than ever it's important to assess their finances. We received and email they other day from one of our student's university - they are working with the board and donors to free funds for more scholarship and financial assistance funds for students, acknowledging that many families are struggling. It also happens to be Jesuit. The other student's university costs more but sent a letter asking for donations. After looking at both their financials now I understand why their responses are different.

Most families don't pay 50k for college education. More like 25k-35k. Financial aid is plentiful even if you make > 100k.

where are they asking for the money to free up in school #1? And for school #2, will this school exist in 5 years?

Not the poster but a lot of endowment funds are donated with restrictions for certain things like a new building or funding department chairs. Other donations are unrestricted and can be used at the discretion of the school's governing body. Sounds like the poster's first school is trying to find ways to free up some of those restricted $ to help students in need. Number two I'd be worried since it seems very early in all of this to go begging. But my wife's alma mater also is hitting up for $ so it seems to be happening. Maybe schools are using the crisis to bring in extra $? which is gross. Plenty of schools are taking relief package $ as well. Harvard and other well endowed schools caught heat for taking $ but no doubt some schools need it. Some schools won't make it.
