They have to pay the same for refs for men's and women's games, but it sure ain't because of Title IX.

I'm not totally sure about that (I'm actually a lawyer), and I'm not sure what civil rights law would be applicable.
You would think that if colleges can legally pay men's coaches more than women's coaches (which they can), then they can also pay men's refs more than women's refs.
But maybe they just don't, for whatever reason.
Colleges and HS aside, I assume that there's a huge pay disparity between WNBA and NBA refs. Anyone know?
