 My landlord charges me when her property taxes go up.  It's called a rent increase when my lease expires.  Same principle applies to assignors when they incur Arbiter fees; somehow or other, that cost gets passed down to assignees.*  In my little corner of un-Connecticut it happens in the form of a 10% cut out of every game fee.  In other places it's a flat rate fee at the beginning of the season.
* Exception: when the schools and/or conferences pay the assignors directly.  Then it's the schools/conferences footing the Arbiter fees.
