Let's say Mr. "Big-Time" referee works 3 conferences Pac-10, Mtn West/WAC, Big 12.

According to your plan, the assignor did not give more than 4 games to that referee.

The problem is that assignors only care about the conference they assign and they want the best officials on their games; assignors don't worry about what the other assignors give the same referee as long as that referee can work the game for the assignor or not.
If all the assignors use the same scheduling service like Arbiter they could see were "Mr. Big Time " is working and if he already four games that week. and the NCAA can control it through Divisions I, II and III. I am not sure if they can for NAIA and Junior College.
