I wish I could take that stance, but they are a condition of assignability here.
That said, the assignor appeared to be walking on eggshells this year. Scrimmages are usually self-assignable for six officials, and we’re supposed to take two. Many ended up with four, and some with more than four signed up had excess officials being asked to work somewhere else where few had signed up. On top of that, a few days ago the party line was “All are welcome except no first year officials please, and you can work more than two scrimmages if you want.” By Friday it was, “We’ll take anyone, we’re desperate.”
There are still some officials uncomfortable working in the pandemic, and we’ve had a few that have decided to hang up their whistles for good. So I don’t see how this era of free scrimmage labor can endure much longer here.
