Well,
Pete:
This is an interesting concept.
I am firmly behind Rich's answer. While an assiginor can support umpires he works for MAINLY the teams.
(We have it a little more cloudy in Oregon: assigners are paid both by the teams (or schools) AND by the umpires (10% of each game fee goes to the assignor) so it does get murky.)
We have such a strong commissioner (assignor) that he would not be held hostage by this type situation. The other question that is unasked: "Where would he get umpires from if he did not use your group?"
Regards,
