It is imperative that school officials provide
football officials with a secure escort on and off
the field and to their vehicles after the game.
Alas, this action is sorely lacking at many schools.
I'm a big man too (6'3" 270) but I am very leery
that some irate fan/parent is going to come flying
out of a crowd of fans and accost the crew.
There is usually a police presence at the games.
I see no reason why one of the officers could not be
assigned that duty. At the least, a school administrator
or his/her official representative should escort officials.
I applaud schools that already provide this layer of safety.
