Televised football: why not vertical field camera view?

Wouldn't it be nice to see what the QB sees every play? Switch back and forth from the offense and defense vertical views to see everyone's faces. How does cutting out what the receivers and secondary are doing every play good viewing?

What would be great is the game film. But that shit is top secret for some reason.

At least you almost always see all the players in b-ball.
