It's a high school assignment. Give it to a high school official. By all means give it to a good high school official, but don't give it to a college officials. College officials aren't the demi-gods of refereeing they are treated like; they are just the guys that are willing to give up more family time to the game than the high school guys.
Sounds like to me you could not cut it at the college level and you are drawing some serious generalizations about something you have little understanding about.

First of all a HS official is someone who works HS games. A college official is someone who works college games. Neither has anything to do the amount of games or percentage of an entire schedule.

Also you obviously do not know a lot about people who work college games officials. Not all college officials are struggling to fit in family time. Not all official have a wife/husband, 5 kids and a dog. Some people have jobs would not interfere in any way with what their kids are doing or their officiating.

It is just clear you are bitter about something and it is showing with this topic.

Peace
