Ok...I realize that is a camp for a high school official. However, I officiate because I enjoy it. I don't want to do it as a volunteer but if I just cover my expenses for the season I am happy. In fact, I don't even track that to see if I even break even. The game fees I get just go into a vacation savings account. I try to hit one or two out-of-town camps each summer so my wife can tag along and veg by the pool and we make it a little weekend getaway.
I don't know...maybe I am just weird.

Has the cost of basketballs gone up?
The coaches salary?
Admission fees?
Scorer's table costs (esp. if they are teachers at the school)?
Uniform costs?
So, the officials are paying for all of that?
