Nope. I have done D1 scrimmages for a ridiculously low fee, trading money for experience, but I have never done a game for free. Even the small colleges (D3, NAIA, Juco) have paid something. Word gets around very fast what schools pay for their scrimmages and how long they want you to be there. If I don't know, I always ask before I accept the game and I wont go if the money offered is below what I am willing to work for. The assignors I work for don't do anything for free, and they don't expect us to work for free either. If the school isn't willing to pay, they make the game available to their staff, but they do not force anyone to accept it.
