16 P5 schools + Yale and SJSU. All but 2 of the P5 schools (Cincy and Duke) are in the SEC or the B1G, if I counted right.

Political influence, anyone? And ALL of us are paying for these.

Quote:Ole Miss, Mississippi State football stadiums targeted by Congress for upgrades
by Caleb Salers
August 25, 2023

EXCERPTS:

...The Congressional Historic Stadium Caucus, established by co-chairs Congressmen Garret Graves, R-La., and Mark Pocan, D-Wis., was launched with intentions to update some of college football’s most historic stadiums, many of which are over 100 years old, and enhance their capabilities...

The article goes on to say Ole Miss launched a campaign in 2021 to raise $215M for upgrades to its stadium, so 18 of these could get expensive.

It goes on to say that 15 of the 18 stadiums could soon host CFP games, so that's why the upgrades are needed.

More of the article...

Quote:...With federal funding potentially available to the universities for stadium repairs, it is possible that technological and infrastructure upgrades could take place at the two Mississippi stadiums sooner rather than later.

The stadiums and their affiliated universities include:

Beaver Stadium (Penn State)
Camp Randall Stadium (Wisconsin)
Cotton Bowl (Dallas, Texas)
Davis Wade Stadium (Mississippi State)
Husky Stadium (Washington)
Jordan-Hare Stadium (Auburn)
Los Angeles Coliseum (USC)
Memorial Stadium (California)
Memorial Stadium (Illinois)
Memorial Stadium (South Carolina)
Nippert Stadium (Cincinnati)
Rose Bowl (UCLA)
Spartan Stadium (San Jose State)
Tiger Stadium (LSU)
Vaught-Hemingway Stadium (Ole Miss)
Wallace Wade Stadium (Duke)
Yale Bowl (Yale)
