You're leaving out aspects of that analogy. You left out the part where you incur the added cost of electricity, or your current home isn't big enough so you need to move to a new area with higher property taxes and insurance costs. Or maybe you're renting the home to someone and force them to get a new gym in exchange for higher rent. The point is, who actually benefits from the donation; the fancy pants administrators and donators or the actual students who'd probably prefer lower tuition and better quality instruction? Somehow, big donations never seem to translate to the the obvious benefit of affordability and accomplishing the actual goal of providing a good education to people.
