first of all the fact that YW posts it does not make it newsworthy, they post all types of crap; i go to the website also, just saying that they post anything that is the least bit about the yeshivish world
also why dont more yeshivos like mir have endowments, they have plenty of alumni who are also professionals who can donate to them and they obviously have donors willing to pay nice amounts to them as before R' NTF dies he was able to get nice checks (not as big as this one i know but still nice size ones), so why dont they have a nice endowment
