LOL! I have worked for a large, well funded, private non-profit university with many millions in its endowment funds. They are probably one of the biggest cheapskates I've even worked for when it comes to IT spend. If it doesn't bring in grant money or student money, it is not supported. They'll spend millions on research computing, but balk at buying anything but the cheapest "ergonomic" chairs for the open plan offices that they cram IT staff into. (Professors and academic staff get offices, IT staff don't even get cubes.) They might pay for uncensored video hosting and exposure an "edu only" site, but they wouldn't want the expense of hosting their own. The value add would be a content nexus for academic and "open university" lectures that could possibly be monetized by a per view/per topic fee from the users.
