A lot of independent contractor laws are state laws and classifications too. I know that this would put this organization in big jeopardy if they were in my state. We had an organization that got popped for paying officials directly and not paying the proper taxes and benefits. I am also wondering about some level of price fixing as well considering that these are fees for the entire state. At least in my area a conference sets the fees and each conference can pay the same fee, but not every school in the state will pay the same for sure. I see a lot of problems with this arrangement and it will take the right person or group to go to court to possibly fight this out on some level.
