Not around here in either of the two sports I work. The BB assignor charges the School ~$100 per varsity schedule and ~$75 per JV schedule AND charge the referees $1 per assignment. Plus the Association charges $85/Varsity and $75/JV referee to be a member. The Assignor and supervisors pay themselves $2,000 per season, which increased $500 this season, after they "took over" the association a "kicked out" the elected leadership.

Soccer assignors are paid by the Schools/Leagues that have increased payment to assignors over the last 4 years but the referee compensation has not changed.

It may be better elsewhere, but around here it is akin to indentured servitude. Enough compensation to keep you "alive" but no equity.
