Never bothered to ask. Moot point anyway.
Is that not what we have the right to do as umpires/officials? We are available. We are asked to work by the assignor to fill spots. Coaches and other entities recommend us to work the games and we work the games. I guess you cannot do that anymore. That is how these assignments are made in other college sports. You could have background at any level; if you are asked to work you work if you choose to. I have never seen the point about guys working games they have the right to accept.

Peace
