While this does not mean that I view the women's side as a dumping ground for old fat ref's, there is room for those of us who may not have the athletcism they are looking for on the men's side.
I do not agree with that at all. I do not see any D1 NCAA Official as "fat" or not with athletic abilities. Now of course there are always exceptions, but I know some of the more successful Women's officials in my area, and they are rather muscular and well built. Or at the very least, they are thin looking, but not fat. Maybe at the lower college levels there are more "fat" officials, but not as you move up that letter.

I am perfectly fine with this and recognize my strengths and weaknesses and if things work out on the women's side I will be extatic. I am a big believer of knowing your strengths and capitalizing on them.
No issue with that.
