But just because we do not see officials wearing goatees and beards does not mean that there is a standard that everyone has to adhere to.
Absolutely. Again, I'll agree completely. I never intended to say that there was one standard that everyone has to adhere to. Obviously, that's not the case. I think everyone has already admitted that.

Everyone does not want to be a college official. I know it might suprise some of you, but that is the case.
It doesn't surprise me at all. But it's irrelevant to the question I asked. I was just curious if you would agree that the standard for a person's appearance becomes much more "standard" (for lack of a better word) or less varied as an official moves up the ladder? You see full beards at the HS level. Ok, I buy that. But when have you ever seen a full beard on TV? My only point was that I think an official's appearance is more controlled as he/she reaches higher levels. Do you think that's a fair statement?
