Not only that but I've read a couple of reports of somebody with an FRS actually talking on the same channel. Made for some interesting times I'm guessing.

The D-1 and NFL guys that I've talked to all love them now, although it took them a season or so to get used to them and work out the kinks.

I don't see them coming to the D-III or high school level any time soon though, mainly due to the cost. Most of our HS games don't even have a field mic for the R, and I get the feeling that about 2/3rds of our small colleges wouldn't either if not for the NCAA mandating it.
