And I far as needing some therapy sessions I cannot deny the consideration hasn't crossed my mind. Thanks
There may be some college assignors who hire an official now and then who doesn't belong. However, college assignors are judged on their ability to hire and retain quality officials and they will get replaced if enough coaches and A.D.'s don't think they are doing a good job. College officiating contracts are year-to-year and it's pretty easy to drop an official that isn't doing the job. The fact that Valentine continues to get hired by several conference and continues to get tons of high-profile games every year means that a lot of knowledgable people think that he's in the top echelon.
