Breaking into the college level

[offici88]

I've been working progressively more and better high school games over the last 13 years. As I look to the next 5 years, I'd like to keep working up in quality. How do you recommend I break into the college ranks?

I'm in western Wisconsin so MN and WI are options with lots of JuCo, NAIA, and D3 schools within a 2 hour drive.

How much is coordinated at a school level? Conference level? Division level?

Is becoming "certified" as simple as registering on arbitersports.com, selecting conferences, and sending in the test?

Is there value to getting registered now in hopes of getting games in 2-3 years?

I know how MN and WI operate on the high school level, but college is totally new to me.


A quick search yielded few helpful results. If this has been addressed in another thread, I apologize. Feel free to redirect me there if you know where "there" is.
