So Mr. Steratore is making at least 80k as an 10 NFL ref using the 2001-2006 contract pay-scale which includes his extra 10k a year for being a referee. Apparently back in 2001 they also got 12k for the super bowl and that should have gone up in the new contract. It does not say how much for the other rounds. They should have signed a new and better contract in 2007 but since there was no strike there is not much information about the 2007 contract.
Also, at 60 D-1 basketball games for 3,000 a game that is $180,000. 300K between the 2 sports is not a bad gig. Not busting on him, cause I think he deserves it.
In addition, he runs his own sanitary company with his brother which allows for all the time off that both of them need to pursue other vocations and avocations. Hope the person who runs the business while they are away gets a pretty penny (they can afford it) since they are helping both pursue their dreams.
Pension of 42k for life without saving another penny after 20 years is not bad and that was in the old 2001-2006 contract.
