I personally don't think it'll ever happen, just like we'll probably never be able to kill commercials. It's all about advertising - on the feeds they like to have info about sponsors and such, when all you really care about is the game itself.

I somewhat solved this for my team by just having a camcorder connected to my laptop recording match video with a LabVIEW VI. Of course, we have a person pressing the buttons, but I bet with a little work I could automate it. You know, like keep a 10 second buffer of video and process the SOUNDS from the field (the sound and vibration toolkit in LabVIEW is awesome, if you have access to it) - if I hear the start sound I can keep the previous 10 seconds of buffer and keep recording, and when I hear the buzzer I can stop recording. Of course, I personally don't have the time to do this, but it isn't unreasonable - I hate the video done by the venue, by the way, since it zooms in and you lose action on the field. It would be nice if they'd just leave the camera alone and capture the whole field...
