Maybe they can, maybe they can't (but if it was that easy, they'd be doing it).
But in the top 10 list of things they'd do with extra money, more $ for another official would be somewhere near the 42rd thing. And why would you think it would - or should - be otherwise?
If you ran a team and had an extra $500, would you get new uniforms? Fix that scoreboard? Reduce 'pay to play' fees? Have a team party? Defray transportation costs? Decorate the gym? Replace those slick, old practice balls? Refurbish the locker room? Enhance the concession stand?
Or get an extra official? Who on earth would donate $ if they knew that was the reason? This is tilting at windmills.
