Do you get with other customers and determine how many people your local McDonald's can provide meals for in week? No, the market sets it by their performance. Same goes for officials like Welmer. As long as he's performing up to the standards desired by the assigners, he'll be able to work 7 days a week if he wants.

Welmer is offered a pick of the games from multiple conferences and schools (for nonconference games). He sits down and chooses his schedule based on travel and sends the rest of the possible games back to be assigned to other officials. Do a Google search and you'll be able to find an article that describes this well.
Also, I'm sure that Welmer has game fee insurance that will ensure he doesn't hurt financially from missing these games. I'm sure it bothers him to miss the end of the season 2 years in a row, but it's not like he's on Adams's speed dial for the NCAA tourney anyway.
