Soccer - $45 per official
Baseball - $55 per official
Football - $75 per official (the white hat gets an extra $15)
Softball - $95 per crew (it appears the plate umpire gets $50 and the base umpire $45)
What I find stunning is that basketball officials and soccer officials are so underpaid compared with other sports. I mean, basketball paid considerably less than SOFTBALL? Really? |
Simple supply and demand.
