I did a bit more reading on analyst roles on college football teams. It came again in another thread about Longwell and the ability for analysts to coach on the field. I read elsewhere about the role of analysts and how there isn't a limit on the number of them. Peeking at some other big name teams, I see that some of them employ a high number of analysts (and/or quality control specialists). Will this further separate programs with a ton of money vs those that don't? Is there any incentive for the NCAA to limit the number of auxiliary staff? Or are we just looking at the acceleration of a super conference of the top 25 or so teams with the biggest pockets and professionalization of CFB?

Well this should be easy this year. . .
