It has been the way to go for scholarships for a while now. It's good to see it expand to coaches salaries, and expenses too. Then the annual fundraising can be applied to other things like facilities. There was an article about Stanford fully endowing all of their scholarships about 15 years ago. It is the best way to sustain those non-revenue sports.
