So in Nebraska, are the crews contracted by the schools directly? So if the state gave assignments to the associations, they would of course have no interest in sharing it with those outside of their group.
Here it is typically the case that the schools contract with the association. Usually an association covers a geographical area, such as a county, city, or even region. Also, the state gives assignments to assocations for positions, not for crews. For example, our association was given a B semi for HL and LJ, an A semi for R, a 4A semi for U, and an A final for BJ. We decided which of our officials will fill those spots.
