We have an interesting system in my midwestern state. We are licensed by the State but are independant contractors with the schools. Our license, however, prohibits us from organizing or negotiating as a group. Thus, we are completely at the mercy of the schools themselves. Since the schools see us as a necessary evil, they have no interest in paying a fair amount. We are paid on average 55 per varsity game with no travel expenses paid.
I believe this to be a clear anti-trust violation by the state that no one has challenged.
