Uniform requirements, numerous e-mails on how to adjudicate plays, reports that must be filed, etc.
Sure the NCAA has insulated themselves from this, but conference guys? That'd be fun to see.

It will have zero impact on the Patriot/Ivy or any college conferences.
No official who has any desire to advance and/or remain college basketball is going to challenge the legality of an assigner's policies to his face, and certainly is not going to bring a lawsuit. Career suicide.
There is no shortage of officials who will diligently adhere to assigners' rules and "non-compete agreements."
