Personally, I think they should take some pay from the JV/Freshman officials and increase the pay of the varsity officials where I live.
Before you think I just want more money in my pocket, I have a reason for thinking this way:
(1) The separation between the two levels is very small -- something like $20 in my area (We usually get $60 for V, $40 for JV).
(2) Too many officials figure that $40 and home by 7:30PM is "good enough." I would prefer to see those who want to move up be rewarded more than those who are simply OK with staying at a lower level.
