Coaches Show 11/5

[Vapoke]

Tyler Hughes was on last night. Good Interview

Brandon (video guy) was on talking about setting up everything and keeping a video database

Coach said they spend $120k per year on PFF and HUDL videos; they have a monopoly on the business.

While $120k/year seems a little steep, why would they provide the service for free?

I would think the coaches could directly reach out to athletes they are interested in and ask them to submit film directly to them. That's probably a lot more work on both the athlete's end and the coaches end and exactly why things like HUDL and PFF exist.

If every school does this for FBS than $16M is what they are pulling in, I am generalizing this post. I can imagine their overhead is ridiculous as I assume they host these servers in the cloud (AWS/Google) which is very expensive to stream and store pedabytes of videos. Then disaster recovery and high availability make it even more expensive.
$120 is probably cheap for schools
