How far does it go? Should Hartzell be forced to give up working D-I basketball cause he's an AD at a D-I school?
Around here we have a lot of conferences. I live in town A, been here for 2 years now. We get games 2 years in advance. I worked the last 2 years in town A (one game each season). I have no ties to the community, no kids in the district (yet). There's no way I was turning them back. I work about 6 games a season in town A's conference. I'm not cutting my schedule back by 6 games to avoid the conference.
And if you look at subvarsity, many schools hire district teachers and local residents to work those games. Nobody bats an eye at that.
