It isn't likely.

The biggest "win" in this situation for the college officials is the chance to get picked up full time. Because working full time in the NBA beats D1 (at least with pay, benefits and schedule... you can debate the quality of basketball), so if these guys take a few games and impress some people, they might get the call-up. That is why some of these guys might take these games, particularly younger officials.
