I think that is largely neutral. For the same reasons that there are fewer slots to be filled (fewer schools due to smaller overall population) there will also be fewer officials. The ratio of slots to officials shouldn't be that different.
In the east, it is just easier for a big name to work games in 10 different conferences throughout the year why would they bother to fly an extra 3-4 hours (maybe each way) for a comparable game....unless the compensation allowed them to take the next day off and make similar money.
