Well, for one thing it will get rid of the distractions of the officials other "real" jobs. That alone will make a difference. On top of that, they'll have more time to watch film, attend clinics, and meet to discuss issues.

This full-time arrangement will also draw in people who might not otherwise have the time, money, or desire to officiate. Perhaps younger people will see this as a career track and there will be more competition for the spots currently filled by the elders. Competition for jobs is a good thing.

I also think the full-time nature of the job would make officials take their positions more seriously (not that they don't do that now.) But the full-time paycheck is a strong motivator.

Just a couple thoughts....
