So in many ways, we take a big cut to do 3 person. Take away all the money they would pay the JV officials and then the varsity officials, the schools come out ahead having all 3 officials doing both games. But I enjoy doing them and would not trade them. It makes you a better official.

I'm not sure that's true, Jeff.
(Chicago Suburb's; typical rates; note that Illinois plays the Soph game as the Prelim game)
Old Way: 2 Soph Officials @ $38 = $76
2 Varsity Officials @ $48 = $96
$76 + $96 = $172
New Way: 3 Officials @ $70 = $210
Even if you meant 2 soph plus 3 varisty, that comes to $220 -- not a big cut, and they did increase the fees for the frosh double headers a lot, so the total item for "officiating fees" probably went up.
