If one commssioner / assignor / school doesn't want to hire me, I shrug and take more games from another. However, I have worked as a varsity official in another state where you *had* to join an association and all games were assigned from there and one person with all the power in the area controlled whether you worked or didn't work.

I would guess that a few officials would be glad to take fewer games for more money and a "staff" position, but others would say goodbye and go to other conferences.
