It would be of only limited use on most other plays in the field of play. Perhaps helping on SOME catch/no catch or fumble.no fumble situations. But that would be it.

NFL and NCAA experiences have even proven that IR is not the final answer and does not always get it right either.
You're completely wrong! I've already seen video implemented for this cost, with first hand knowledge, too.

Secondly, if you read my post, I said that if $ is there... I now that some HS programs get thousands of people to games. Those programs could do it. They could pay for the equipment, no problem.

Furthermore, I happen to have 3 years' experience being a television camera operator. If you get somebody that knows what they're doing, you could get great shots. I've worked with award-winning professionals in this area.

I also have 5 years experience working with HD video including multiple-angle views of the same feed.

Granted it would never be of the quality that we're used to in the bigs, but it can be done.

What experience do you have with setting up video camera systems, HD systems, and with televising live sports?
