If a guy pays the fee and works one game, he's in the hole. If another works 50 games, he got a heckuva deal.
And most assignors eat the Arbiter fee as a business expense.

We're talking about 2 different fees here.
There is an assignor's fee (8-10%) that comes out of our game fees that the schools have nothing to do with.
You also have a fee that schools pay up front to the commissioner/assignor to assign their games for the season. In our association's case, that fee is very small, somthing like $25/school. That's a fee that has no effect on the officials.
