What people are also ignoring is that coaches are aware of the structural pressures in their salaries at certain schools. It takes a lot for Harvard to pay 700k to amaker. It's v hard to sustain that in a lean year. Same with shaka at VCU. We aren't texas but even we could pay Bzz more than what VCU paid shaka. Coaches get that, particularly if they are looking for a long term home
Harvard couldn't find a way to peel off some of that $40 Billion endowment if they needed to?
Why would they? They didn't get a huge endowment by spending money where they aren't going to get a solid ROI. Athletics makes money for a good number of schools, I would be stunned if it makes much, if any, for Harvard.
To hold onto a coach they wanted
I think you are overvaluing the opinion Harvard and their alums have of Athletics. If a major conference puts out an offer, there is absolutely zero chance Harvard offers. I can't believe this conversation is even happening.

My point was, if there is any school that could have the ability to hold onto the coach they wanted, it would be the one with the $40 B endowment.
