Yes, now you know. But at the amateur level there is that major discrepancy (for which I get that economics lecture) between the D1 Basketball guys working for $1,000 per game and the D1 Baseball guys working for $200 per game. I think that discrepancy should be what it is at the High School level between basketball and baseball, and I bet the discrepancy isn't that blatant.
Even for the D1 finals, the Basketball refs are paid $1,400 for that game while the D1 Baseball umps are paid $3,900 for the whole tournament, which, if the maximum number of games are played, some umpires work 11-13 games which is only $300-$350 per game.
