For those who want them to be full time, what do we do with the guys who are already NFL officials? I don't think these guys who are CEO's, lawyers, company presidents, administrators, and other professional jobs will just give up their jobs to go full time. Many of them are already making 6 figures and will not give that up to continue to officiate.
Secondly, how much better can they be just because they are full time? I have personally talked to 3 NFL officials and they say during the season, it is pretty much a full time job. How full time can they be during the offseason? I don't see 40-50 hours of work a week between Feb-May.
I really do not see them being any better going full time, but see many problems with the issue.
