Well Garth, this is why it is an opinion. You do not have to agree with my point of view or anyone's point of view on the topic. I said that it was a case by case basis and I feel that there are amateur umpires that would do a better job than some pro umpires. Many D1 umpires never attempted to go to pro school or wanted to work in the Major Leagues. We can debate of why, but I am sure there are some D1 umpires that make more money than many Major League umpires currently and it would not be cost affective for them to end up like Eric Gregg when the Majors decides to get rid of you.
Peace
