[Back In The Saddle]

I attended a camp this summer by a big name D1 official and an entourage of other D1 folks who work lots of games in conferences you'd be impressed by. Having similar stary-eyed dream of reffing college ball full time, a bunch of us asked them about it.

Even the big name official has a day job. Some of them are school teachers. But all of them have regular day jobs, very understanding bosses, and they fly out to the game, work it, and fly back for work the next day.

Mr. big name does actually go from game to game during the week. But he's in the office when he's not on the road.
