I know in HS most places compensate for travel. In Texas, Driver makes federal mileage. Last year it was .35 / mile. I know all college pays mileage and hotel and airline expenses depending on need. Under that senerio, I don't mind driving 100 miles just to call a Junior High game. I just don't like being the guy in the passenger seat.

Those veterans who would rather take the rec game over the varsity game are the ones that have given up on themselves. They just do it for the money. They won't attend camps. They won't attend meetings; and they won't do what it takes to become an official that can call that high level varsity or college game.
