For sports doing the actual broadcast / filming in 4k is technically difficult and also really expensive when you have 100 cameras. 

and storage, and data pipes in questionably updated stadiums networks/cabling

Allegiant for the SB in Feb shouldn't have any infrastructure restraints, considering its newness. But it's not known if SB will be filmed in native 4k or not this year

Cabling and switchers are the main issue with how the filming and cameras are done. Going from 1080p to 4k requires 4x cabling and video switchers. 

 

They'd have to go from a 100 cameras down to 25 because of just the video switchers alone.
