How many people are needed to air a live sports broadcast?

In my research about live sports broadcasting, I've discovered that it's definitely not a one-person job. Typically, it requires a team of at least 30 people, each with a specific role, ranging from camera operators, producers, directors, sound engineers, to commentators. The size of the crew can increase depending on the scale of the event. For instance, in the case of mega-events like the Superbowl, the number of personnel can skyrocket into the hundreds. It's definitely a complex process that requires a lot of teamwork and coordination!
