Price can impact quality, and while I'm a free-marketer, sometimes in these situations negotiation is important.
If associations are seeing their ranks depleted of quality officials due to these low fees, and they are hearing from the schools about low quality, it sometimes takes drastic measures to get their attention.
I'm not a fan of striking when a contract exists - but this may work if they open the games up to anyone and find out what that's about.
