Possibility of Cotton Bowl to become BCS.

[RoyceTTU]

There are plenty of other bowls that would like a chance to hold the highly lucrative national title game, including the Cotton Bowl played at the Dallas Cowboys' lavish new stadium. Cotton Bowl officials have never hidden their desire to return to elite bowl status.

Cotton Bowl President Rick Baker declined comment through a bowl spokesman.

This would be great. Fiesta has 3 years left on it's contract. Hopefully the investigation unveils big problems and the Cotton Bowl can step in and fill the void.

Seems strange for the Cotton Bowl to not be a major bowl. I can't get used to that.

it's probably the most prestigious "Non-BCS" bowl out there. Also has one of the largest pay-outs.

Dosn't hurt that it is now played in one of the greatest stadiums in the country.
