Actually, the assignor that I work for has many guys calling for him that umpire college ball and they have all given me compliments and mentioned my name to the collegiate association. Also, I know some of the guys who are pretty high up there pretty well. And also, my father owns a baseball school and knows everybody associated with baseball in East Tennessee, so this gets me lots of opportunites. The college ball I would be doing would be JUCO, D2, and private schools. Probably mainly JUCO. Trust me, there are idiots umpiring college ball that are much more worse than I am. Hope this answers your question (by the way, I'm not being a smarta$$ either).
I was just curious because here in So Cal to be even a JUCO umpire one needs to slave in HS ball it seems or be a umpire school grad. I was the youngest umpire in my three college assoc. last year, and in all honestly I was only there because of my umpire school training. I was just curious what other parts of the country require for their college umpires.
