I came across a study today by the National Association of College & University Business Officers. There were 849 US & Canadian respondents to the study which was looking at rates of endowment growth for 2013. I scanned it for existing Sun Belt schools and I have listed schools of interest (recently left the conference or been discussed on this board.) Liberty was not listed, so I could not confirm the $1 Billion number which has been thrown around.

Adding UMass and the Amherst campus was around 230 Mill.
We have 5 campuses with Amherst being the flagship.
UMass - Lowell just moved their basketball to Div 1 and were grandfathered for Hockey.
UMass - Worcester Medical school has the largest endowment followed by Amherst, the rest are small.
UMass - Dartmouth and recently took over a law school.
UMass - Boston the smallest, but has the JFK Library and is on the Bay.
