HS games are agonizing enough at 32 minutes, I definitely have no desire to add an extra 4 minutes to it.

I'm an assigner for 22 schools for conference varsity games.
I've already had a couple of people ask if the fees will go up since the game length is increasing by 12.5%. I've answered truthfully -- it's unlikely in the short term.
I've seen Facebook threads where others have shut down those questions cause "the schools have no money" and the usual canard of "do it for the children."
All our officials for 2015-16 are contracted for a certain rate. Why should they work 4 extra minutes every night without being able to ask that question (and without being ridiculed for asking)?
