This seems like a great idea to me. Our association is the only one that provides officials for this area, so I would think that if we just stood firm and said we want 3 man, the schools would have to give it to us if they wanted our associations services. Now I know it wouldn't be something that would happen overnight, but if the schools were giving 2 years or so, knowing the change is coming, they could find the extra money for it. Easiest way to me would be to raise ticket prices $.50-1.00 each season until the change takes effect.
Are they only getting about 50 people per game who pay? The difference between 2 and 3 is going to be anywhere from $20 to $40 per game. Here in CO, it's $31-$33, depending on whether its a rural school or a city school (city pays a $2 travel stipend to each official while rural schools pay a mileage fee to one official).
