This may or not be true. I know that many times, they fly into a city and do two games there. For example, if you work the Big East and the Ivy League, you can fly into NYC and work St. John's one night and Columbia the next. That cuts down on the travel quite a bit. It's not always like that, and I know that you can find certain big dogs in a different town on many nights in a row. But it might not be as bad as you make it sound.

I think it's a great idea. The NCAA can hire the officials as employees, pay them $100k+ per year, with health insurance and retirement benefits. Then they can send them where they want as often (or not) as they want.
Oh, the NCAA isn't willing to spend that kind of money on officiating? What a shock!! That means that the officials are still independent contractors and can work as many games as assignors will offer them.
