And they teach that in class. But since its a college class they need some work for people to do and this is one of the things along with watching games (at least 10) and seeing how the offcials cover it (posistioning,signaling, comunication, aperance ect ect) and interviewing some one who has ref'ed at at least high school level for several years. This class isnt to give in depth looks for a sport (it covers 5-6) less in depth so studying rules isnt the main factor.
I feel Im justified.

I hope that along with investigating what the "big
dogs" make you get a chance to see what the "little dogs"
make, and then include the ratio of "big dogs" to "little
dogs". It's a lot like the entertainment business, most
actors/writers/musicians not even scraping by on their
art, a small handfull making a living and a very small
handfull making tons.
