D-will,
A lot of officials make this full time job for a calendar year. I can name three officials that I knew of right now that have D-1 officiating as their full time job during the year.
I would not have a problem if the NCAA turned this into a full time operation for officials. I think it would actually help the game out in some respects.
I think the first respect would be the quality of officiating would get better quicker. Now mind you, I am NO way putting down the veteran officials of D-1 basketball for either mens or womens, but I think the quality of officiating would improve due to a few reasons.
The first reason being is because the officials would not have another job to focus on while trying to focus on their officiating. All they would need to do is focus on officiating 100% of the time.
The second reason is officials I think would be put under the gun even more to getting better and working harder because the standards they have to follow would be more pressed to be follow because of not having another job to worry about.
