I don' think travel is an issue. These guys travel all the time now.
As for the number of games in a week, I think two is a little too restrictive. A more reasonable solution would be for them not to work on consecutive days. A coach may THINK he wants officials only working two days a week but he'd better realize that new, less experienced offiicals are going to have to move up to D1 to work all those games that are left. Most of these guys work 4-6 games a week. So you're looking at increasing the staff 50-75%.
But I agree that they work too many games in a week. I don't see how a 55 year old official work 6 out of 7 days a week, especially with all the travel that's involved.
