With the advent of relatively inexpensive drones as spy-in-the-sky snopes, where a team can easily film an opponent's practices/preparation for upcoming games, this has gotta be addressed. [Hope Belechik doesn't read this board.]

There is nothing that you can't learn about a team if you do your do diligence with game tape review. Schemes, formations, and tendencies are all there on video if you do enough research. Execution if what is most important.

Mind blowing stuff.

UM should actually hire some former NSA people to hack into opposing coaches' emails.
 
Little known fact is that we have one of the most advanced counter-surveillence programs in college football. Not worried. The drones have no chance.
 
JHall, Some people use their minds to think ahead and be innovative; others use it to express themselves with profanity because they think it makes them smarter.

Rick, I just won my bet, above. Goggled 'drones football' and found that two (2) teams already are doin' it. One, UNC, is on our schedule!
Appologies accepted!

If that's true, UM should shut down their embassy in Chapel Hill.

UM might also consider upgrading the AA batteries surrounding Greentree.

For some reason I think the OP looks like this:

There are some very capable drones available for purchase. Some can carry an HD GoPro, stay airborne for an hour at a time with that payload, they can fly to a preprogrammed GPS location, hold a specified altitude, and the operator is free to operate the camera - which is sending real-time video back to the operator station, where it can be saved onto a DVR or hard drive on a computer.

They're electric, battery powered, quiet, and if you stay among or just above the treetops, they are very hard to detect, even a hundred meters distance. Upon command, it will fly back to the operator and set itself down, enabling a quick battery pack exchange, and it's back in business, back on station, recording whatever you want it to.

Cost is in the neighborhood of $30K, and to be honest, these things are amazing.

It's been reported that teams - both college and pro - have spied on opponents, it's been reported that lip readers have been used at game time, and that inside information of all sorts has been attempted to be gained.

Drones. Football. Welcome to the 21st Century.
