Emmitt,
I agree with you that the driving force for most of us isn't money. However, the scholls do pay us and make us negotiate contract. That was the basis for comparing the cost of living. (I know I originally said " standard of living"). There are costs associated with officiating and if we are going to get paid we should get paid what we are worth. Schools fight us tooth and nail here for every dollar, but have no problem paying teachers over $ 100 a game (pensionable) to operate the clock, usually incorrectly.
I disagree with your idea of putting more men on the field for the same net money. Once you start giving away services no matter what the reason you can never get it back.
I am not a labor guy. I am just realistic about what we do.
