Yet, Gonzaga, Butler, Xavier, Temple, VCU, etc. have routinely pulled it off through the years.

This is doable. It would require a 6.25%(1/16)increase in ticket/parking/seat license/etc. prices. I think most people would not balk at that sort of one-time cost increase, if the reasoning was spelled out for them.

UD could maybe even just phase in the cost increase over multiple years: a 2% increase for each of 3 years, a 3% increase for each of 2 years, etc.
