I completely agree. What if TBA starts a Dropbox/Box.com account where uploaders can voluntarily submit their match videos (similar to what FIRST did with the Dean's HW Submissions this year), in case they want their footage to be saved if for some reason their account is deleted in the future. If their account is deleted, then TBA would be able to upload the videos on their own (since they got the okay from the uploader) and thus they're saved. You can't force uploaders to preserve their footage if they don't want to, after all, it is their's. But if they want to, they'll have the option.

It is extremely simple for a team to access their YouTube Channel's analytics page and get all kinds of statistics. But let's say a team has 90 videos that have been taken and uploaded on WFN's account. How would that team access the view count/minute watched data for those videos, and/or include it in the graph such as Panteras has done? This will also take away greatly from the number of page visits their channel in general receives. Why should teams have to compromise for a service that they provide by recording and posting the footage?
