I am not sure about Jeff R's experience, but we are from the same general area, and I have never been asked to work a scrimmage for free by any assignor, nor have I been subject to any repercussions for refusing to work a scrimmage when the fee is lower than I was willing to accept.

I don't blame you for that opinion, but apparently you have the luxury of mandatory unpaid scrimmages not being a condition of your season assignment eligibility.
I may be an independent contractor, but my broker tells me I need to work a couple of freebies every November. So I do.
