I've wanted a system for that for a while, but it doesn't seem like this tech would really work for that. I was thinking it could work to see if a player got a first down or a touchdown, though. They could have sensors in the first down markers or maybe more realistically at the goal line at least. The cost could become an issue with as many balls as they tend to use in a game, but I suppose they could alter the way they handle/replace the balls if necessary.
