rotational kinematics - Moment of inertia of a football and its angular momentum



What are the ways to create a mathematical model for the moment of inertia of a football? Can the moment of inertia of the football be simplified to two cones stack against each other?


I'm trying to find the angular momentum of the football by using $L=I \omega$


Is the angular momentum of football actually conserved?


What are the ways one can obtain the angular velocity on a rotating football?
