Anyways, the AD was still in her office (why I don't know at 5:30, but anyways). She told me that she called and left a message that the game was canceled however I never got it. So, since I'm a nice guy and it wasn't that far of a drive (10 miles, tops), I am going to let it side THIS time. But, how many of you would of stuck her with your contract and said "show me the money!?"

There are political ramifications depending on who assigned the game. If you got the game directly from the school and you push the matter with the SCHOOL, you may never get another call from the school. If the game came from an association, then work through those channels to get paid.
There is a significant camp that feels that "if you didn't work why should you get paid?" My feeling is that you've told the world it's a closed date and you may have picked up another game -- you should get paid if only to keep schools and ADs honest when booking officials.
