Sup720 netflow sampling takes places after the netflow is collected, not 
before. So, you still burn the same amount of netflow TCAM, and are just 
throwing data away before exporting it, not collecting.

It might not be that useful to sample on that platform.

Sup2T and onwards support sampling at collection time, which is what 
people usually want when they're sampling. No idea if it works properly 
- never tried it.
