Tim - In the basketball association the schools paid you directly and you paid the assignor directly.
I do not have a problem paying assignment fees and since the schools paid officials directly, then the assigners fees would also need to be paid directly to the assigner.
The problem came in that you have to come up with the money before you ever work a game. In the case of basketball you could be assigned lets say 100 games for the season. You would need to pay the assignor $300 before the season even started and before you ever receive a check.
Tough thing to sell new officials on when you are trying to recruit.
