Puh-leeze. If these multimillion dollar a year coaches don't want to see the overworked top tier officials night after night then they could make that happen.
But they don't.
But that doesn't stop them from b1tching every February, does it?

You're missing the point. The real point is that they want those two nights per week to be THEIR games. Izzo doesn't want Steve Welmer flying in all bleary-eyed because this is his 42nd straight day of working. Izzo wants Welmer flying in fresh as a daisy because he's been off since the last time he flew in. 4 days ago. For their last game.
But Izzo doesn't want to pay what it would take to make these guys full time employees of the conference. It's cheaper to whine and insist somebody else shold do something about it.
Silly Izzo.
