I've read all the commentary about looking your compadres in the eye and "the brotherhood". If your career is over and you can get one, brief probably, chance to work the best, why not take it? Why would your college pals really care? You'll be gone in a few weeks so what if Hochuli calls you a scab. You want be working with him ever anyway. Your former HS associates are so far removed from the issue they don't matter.

I do not think this is about college pals, it is about supervisors. At the end of the day I think fellow officials can and will understand if they are not NFL officials. It is the supervisors that have personal connections to people in the NFL or had a career. I know that the assigning body in my area for college is run by a former NFL official. I know it is not going to be looked at in the best light by him if guys go to the NFL. At the end of the day this is a personal choice. I know it would not be worth it to me at this stage to even consider this as a option (Not that I am being considered in any way shape or form, just a hypothetical).
