I'm not trying to be snarky but are you being serious ?
Because NFL-Class Stadium is not one of the features I would think of if I was doing a bullet list of things a university should have.

The University of Texas Leghorns (men's football program) brings in over USD$130 million a year. UT has 50K students. http://www.ibj.com/blogs/4-the-score/post/45498-notre-dame-no-2-in-ranking-of-football-riches-iu-tops-purdue http://www.ibj.com/blogs/4-the-score/post/45498-notre-dame-n...
