I know baseball (at least in Illinois) adds an extra umpire at some point in the postseason.
In Wisconsin, not every conference uses three officials for regular season varsity basketball games. That changes at a certain point in the playoffs.
Seems to only make sense for football to do the same. I get it's a money issue, but someone, somewhere is going to look really bad one day because a missed call could have been prevented by having more officials on the field. It's a small price to pay to get more calls right, IMO.

Reason: Added the word "basketball" to clarify a sentence.
