Nope. You end up screwing yourself and others in the long run.
When I lived in GA from '96-00 some officiating groups worked together to get high schools to raise fees (at the time it was $35 for varsity). It was working well until other groups agreed to work for the going rate and then
others agreed to work for $30 per game. Eventually we all lost out.
That being said I do look at the NFL situation differently from the other major sports because they aren't full-time employees of the league (similar to our situation). They have regular jobs and can earn a living. The league doesn't have quite as much leverage.
