This sounds like the coaches simply want what the other power conferences have. They could be the worst officials in D1 ball...but they would still want them just because they work in the east and likely can't have them.
It feeds into the notion of "east coast bias" and the Pac-whatever is desperate for respect and return to glory...so they have to get those big name east coast guys.
Nonsense. I don't believe for a second that they don't already have officials that are equivalent to the Big Ten, Big East or SEC already filling their rosters. All they're interested in is well known names. It's not a quality issue at all.
