I agree, but there has to be some reason the NCAA isn't using it. If it was $10, they'd use it. If it was $10,000,000, they probably wouldn't. I imagine the point where they're ok is somewhere in the middle, but not yet where the two are meeting.
I can't imagine the technology is that difficult to replicate or match. If patents are an issue, then someone should be able to achieve the same results with different tech. I'm just speculating now, though.
All we really know is the conferences all use it. The NCAA uses it for the NIT. The NCAA does not use it for the big dance. Not sure why, but there has to be some reason; even if we think it's insufficient, someone disagrees.
