All changes are made through the association assignors. The schools contact these people and they in turn contact the referees and pass along the needed information.

As there is no reason to contact an individual referee prior to a contest, there certainly is no reason to do so following a game. Our board/president needs to serve as the liaison/buffer. BTW that is the policy of our current board/president, but the information is still available through the assigning software. I don't agree with that.

PS All pay checks come from the association, not the individual schools.

Nevada, I understand you work differently in your state than we do. One question based on your response, though. Do you as a crew not confirm with the AD a few days prior to the game? We used to do this via a phone call but now use primarily email. We use assigning software but still do the personal contact to confirm all parties are on the same page with scheduled date, time teams, etc.
