Conference tournaments are running all over the country at the same time. Many of the little conferences run earlier in the week and it is not unusual to probably have a large portion of their staff working somewhere else.
But when the Big Ten, Pac-10, SEC, ACC, Big East and Big 12 come calling, you (as an official) are not going to just turn them down.

I agree with all of those points and already said such in an earlier post. However, you seemed to base the bulk of your argument on the idea of professionalism at the D1 level. So if that is true, then why won't you answer my question about the Final Four?
