Ah, yes, you too can enter the magical World Of College And Above. All you have to do is go to class for three years. You may be required to do a few scrimmages also, but only if you feel like it. Yup, it takes less time to be a fully qualified and competent college official in Cali than it does to get a college degree. No need to actually go out on the court and officiate any real games either while you're doing so. Nosiree, BillyJoeJimBob, having game experience isn't really needed.
I'm kinda mystified at a few little thing though. If, every year, there is a graduating class of third-year officials that are ready to go out there to do all of those college games, what happens to all of the guys/gals that were doing them the year before? Do the assignors just have wholesale firings to make room for all of these college-ready third year officials coming in? Do they fire by seniority? Do they fire the most experienced officials first to make room for all of those up-and-comers? If so, how come I still see all of those familiar faces on the PAC10 crews? Hasn't anyone bothered to tell 'em yet that they're redundant and no longer needed?
Do the members of your graduating classes have the option to move to other states to claim college jobs there too, seeing that they're so much better trained and competent than the officials in all of those other states?
And at the high school level, does that mean that every year's graduating class just replaces existing high school officials too? You know, to get ready for the inevitable journey to The Land Of College And Above? Or do they just skip the high school varsity level completely in their first 3 years because there really isn't any advantage to working at that lowly level.
Inquiring minds need to know!!!
Oh, one other little question, if you don't mind. What color is the sky in your world out there?
