People believe in win/wins.

Universities aren't that.

Your wish is my command.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology now has 500 billion dollars to spend on gain of function research.

Yes, but the majority of the funding goes to the increasingly bloated institutional overhead. NYU takes 61% of research grants [1], while Columbia takes 64.5% [2]. That doesn't include other fees that PIs might pay in addition. These percentages keep going up year-over-year and are even into the 70% range at some institutions.
