Frankly, this mindset (not yours, but the "for the kids" one) has kept game fees low while teams seem to be able to afford new uniforms seemingly every year.
We have conferences who have raised fees only $10 over the last 25+ years.
There's no shame in wanting to be paid for our work. Schools see value in having officials and not coaches with whistles for scrimmages. Officials should be paid for their time and labor just like in any other job.
