2. Flat rate “buy in” at the beginning of the season. Usually equivalent to one varsity game fee or something like that.
3. Schools and/or conferences pay the assignors explicitly. Officials aren’t burdened directly.

Or a combination of all of the above. Even still you have to consider game fees, travel fees, dues, and other factors all in combination. Then, you have to consider what the responsibilities of the assignor are. What may look high to some, might actually be lower than it appears once all the factors are considered.
