On the Men's side, not too many people are getting offered anything without going to camp in my experience. Usually you have to prove you are even worthy to get an opportunity. I also know many female officials that are not getting asked to work any college because they are older (or it seems that way).

Of course, you're right. I'm just saying that a 46-year old woman might have more chance of getting some college than a 46-year old man. At least in some conferences.

Another thing that matters to some extent is how old you appear. There are 55 year old people that don't look a day over 35, and they aren't allowed to ask you. So 46 isn't necessarily the end of the line, although it's probably getting close.
