He said that we should limit our college games to 2 maybe 3 at most a week to have better called games. What does everyone think about that? I know it makes a lot of sense in a way, but do we have enough officials to cover so many games if we limit them to just 3 a week? probably not possible.

Officials are not responsible for assigning, supervisors and coaches often are. The supervisors might assign the games, but the coaches throw a fit if they see someone they do not like or that they feel is not "good enough." If you want to see more officials, then stop getting upset when you see a newer official or someone that you do not know very well. Case in point the game Welmer got hurt, it was clear that the Coach Izzo and Coach Self did not get on the senior of the officials about much of anything. If you do not give newer guys a chance, you will get the same officials over and over again. You are not giving the supervisors any incentive to use other officials.
