Z, I agree with nearly everything you've written in this thread. But I don't think the "only" difference between me and a D1 official is that he/she doesn't mind the travel. Most D1 officials get to that level b/c of exceptional ability (although there are exceptions, of course).
Your comment is kind of like saying that the only difference between Paul Pierce and a local Boston HS player is that Pierce is available to play 82 games a year.
