Title: "SEC will try wireless communication for officials this year" Post by: Chechem on July 10, 2012, 11:35:09 AM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/07/sec_will_try_wireless_communic.html
Quote The SEC will experiment with wireless communication to officiate some football games this season, a concept used by international soccer referees for several years. The NCAA football rules committee approved a waiver for the SEC to test the system only for SEC games. The technology could help officials communicate to identify pre-snap reads, become more efficient in enforcing penalties without huddling, and explain rulings better to coaches...

If it works it would probably be a good idea. RTR!

Minutes. Wireless is tough when you have 100,000 chicks on their cell phones, a stadium filled with electrical wiring, and a long line of computer geeks just waiting to try what you suggested.
