I did have a few officials ask why we didn't raise the fees and work 2-person. Every one of those cared more about the money than the work.

Amen. My local board committed this year to finally going all 3-p for varsity. They took a $10 cut per game ($85-$75) and the 2-p JV officials are also going to eat a $10 cut ($55-$45) to help subsidize the increased varsity cost on the schools.
I'm all for it and I think most folks in the room agreed. But there was a subtle grumble from the cadre of permanent JV officials.
