That is my point. NCAA is the host and sponsor. You are not going to see any umpires in different uniforms no matter where they umpired to get to that point.

If you notice during the NCAA Softball Championships, there are NCAA decals everywhere. Many are covering the ASA. ASA is not allowed to promote themselves unless they pay like any other sponsor. I believe the only place you will see "ASA" during those games is on the scoreboard as part of the stadium's name.
