I don't really expect for anything to materialize from this, but the Cotton Bowl in particular could really benefit since it doesn't have a permanent tenant and hasn't aged gracefully.

For history's sake, I would have also liked to see more Ivy League stadiums on the list (but I guess they're not really hurting for money). Of current FBS schools, Bobby Dodd and the Big House are also notably absent.
