I think you missed Scrapper's point.

First of all, its $100 per year. And 92%+ of the officials won't even get a chance to earn that money back, and possibly never officiate an NCAA game.

Using Scrapper's numbers, 8% of test writers will be assigned games. Some would say that this is dangerously close to the 1%/99% divide.

The NCAA rule and case book can be obtained elsewhere, and/or from other people for free. Videos are a plenty.

I would likely pay the $100, but I bet that asking to attend pre-games, and going to camps would service me better.
