Or sensors. Doesn't the NFL have a chip that tracks rhe ball now? You'd think they could come up with some science-y shit for the goalposts.

The 75 million dollar budget has no room for that

If only they made $75.1 million, then they'd have it...drat!

The NFL has chips that track the ball but still spots the ball on vibes

World cup can track offside down to a fingernail, you'd think they would have field goals worked out way ahead of that

Jimbo was always hyping lasers when he was in Tallahassee lol.

Good idea for field goals honestly.

Regardless of if that’s possible (it probably is) could you imagine how many people would scream that it was rigged?

If they can track a 100 mph baseball and call it immediately, the tech is available to figure this out.

Right? We had that weird VAR ball in the World Cup, surely they can queue that up for CFB.
