I can assure you, they are not happy about this, either. It will be interesting to see how they address the issue with PBUC and how they address it with the amateurs. I wish them well.

Like I said, I figured the AMLU didn't have any say in the matter, and may also have been caught as off-guard as the college guys affected. And that's part of the reason for my ambiguous feelings on the matter.
I mean, look, would it take food off my table? God, no; if I were umpiring to keep my household running, well, I wouldn't be. The pro game doesn't pay well until you're at the top, and at least in my association, there's a lot of guys working, and not enough games - to make it a "living," that is. I'd have to work other sports to do that, and I'm not willing to do that. I'm an umpire, and that's it.
My angst is more over a chance to work a "bigger" stage, if you will. Or as big a one as I can. Just find me the right target at which to vent my anger, then, and it's all good.
