I don't see it ever happening in football because it's not the be all, end all solution.
For example, many times a player with the ball steps out of bounds while the ball itself is still inbounds. Knowing the path of the football through embedded sensors doesn't tell the refs where the ball was at the moment the player stepped out of bounds. That kind of play would still require the judgement of the sideline officials to spot the ball correctly, or near as correctly as humanly possible.
