When my conference that I hire went to 3-person a few years ago, we paid the officials the exact same amount the 2 officials got the year before.

While I agree with you I don't know how you got this to fly with the schools. Our schools were and still are resistant to 3-man officiating simply due to the cost. We have some of the lowest fees in the country at $52 for a varsity 3-man game. $60 for varsity 2-man. There have been talks of strikes or flu days but nothing has come to fruition. I'm not sure what the solution is but there is a lot of frustration around fees in our state and association.
This maybe getting OT would be happy to start a new thread.
