I wonder about the need for an NDA. Will the beta test teams have a leg up on the rest of the field all the way up until kick-off? If it's not a major advantage, then why not make a full disclosure on the control system at the same time as the beta sites get it?

Many teams were unhappy with the way it went last year, mostly the ones who could not pay until late and got the controller along with their KoP. Their learning curve coincided with the build. There's a whole lot of difference between having the hardware, and knowing people who do!
