This may be just the officials I have dealt with, but it cracks me up when someone has 5 college games and says something like, "You may have to help me with an interpretation if I try to use a college rule". Really?

In my experience it is more about if you are on a staff or if you were hired to work conference games than if you work more. At least around here that can be exposed very easily when someone starts talking like they work "college" and no one knows them or has worked with them. Kind of a closed community much more than on the high school side.
And honestly I call the game the same at least when it comes to judgments. The rules are very easy to know IMO too at the college level.
