I was set to make a 300 mile round trip yesterday to call 2 games and come home with about $150.
You think this was for personal gain?

Yes, if it was doing games that another group of officials declined to do in their pursuit of a decent per game fee.
Some officials are refusing games at the current ridiculously low state pay scale to try and raise the game fee levels for
all of the officials in their state. The buzzards though are happy to swoop in and take those games at the current ridiculously low state pay scale to make a few extra bucks. The result? The LHSAA is happy as hell to get their games covered and there is absolutely no incentive for them to ever offer the officials a raise. Been like that since 2007, hasn't it?
The buzzards deserve $36 a game imo.
