There are Federal Labor laws that prohibit this, Anti-Kickback Act. Of course, that doesn't apply to an independent contractor. What a crock. I have never ran into anything like that.

Do you expect assignors to put out the effort to cover all the games for free? The arrangements may be different but I'm sure assignors everywhere get a cut somehow. It may be that in your area they get paid by the schools to do the assignments. Either way, it comes out about the same. Plus this makes sure that the guys that signup for the games are serious about showing up.
