And I do know that if you work for the right assignor at the D3 level in your area, you are going 3 and 4 hours one way to work games. Not fun when you have to go in a blizzard as well. And this is why when the baseball season starts, I refuse to go very far for college games. I just have the opportunity to work games very close without having to work go an hour to work a game in that sport. Basketball is a little more competitive and it is harder to work those same games during the basketball season.

Perhaps I wouldn't mind the travel, but to be quite honest, I hate driving and I travel a lot in my day job. I've flown from Madison to Minneapolis in the winter for business meetings because the thought of driving 4 hours in the snow (potential snow) is completely unappealing.
