Schools already have shot clocks for basketball, so I don't think it would be a big deal to get a play clock for football setup. We already have two schools with them installed and they used them only during the playoff games. The problem is who will run it for the regular season games?
For BB games, it's usually some school personnel who doesn't even have to be a certified official. For football, any clock operator has to be a certified official. Do we need that now for a play clock operator? I don't know if the contract covered it. If we do, that person is required to be in full uniform and is paid a certain contractual game fee specifically for clock operators.
As far as IR at the high school level.. please just say NO. :}
