D2 Lone Star went to 8 last year. As far as I know they're sticking with it. Haven't heard about any others, but I'm sure there are a few.

I believe the MIAA in KS/MO uses 8.  I know the KJCCC junior college conference in KS uses 8.

It seems at this time most FCS conferences are planning on using replay and not spending the money on the 8th official. Time will tell but I think replay gives them more for the $ than the 8th official.

Definitely.  I heard replay startup costs for one conference was at least $250,000 for the conference
