I'm guessing there's a lot of football officials dying to get on the varsity field in LA and a lot of officials who are waiting for their chance to put on the white hat. If you want to use the supply and demand argument, varsity football (with the fewest games and probably a large supply of officials available) would pay less, right? I know I don't get a $15 bump for wearing the WH in Wisconsin, but I wouldn't trade it for another position on my crew.

Further, how about D-1 officiating? Since I know many officials who would give an extremity to work that level and the number of games is quite fewer, shouldn't those games pay LESS?

Supply and demand isn't the only factor at play here. Or, at least, it's not as simple as you make it.
