Texas Asso of Sports Oficials v UIL

[NavyChiefBlue]

Unless you are currently making $50 per game (understand if they pay gate), the raise should be $15 (to $60 per game fee).

As far as the wording on the bill, it does sound confusing, but the site I pulled the other info from was linked to the bill.

Hopefully it will be all cleared up by the time football rolls around.

Under 1204c, we are being paid $45.00 plus $0.55 per mile round trip. I thought that the base was going to $55.00. You usually don't have to worry about gate until playoffs. There are very few schools that charge admission to regular season games and if they do, somehow there wasn't enough gate receipts to pay extra to the umpires.

The new 1204 is $60. Usually don't see gate during season, but we do have one district that pays $50, no matter what. Most schools in this area do charge admission. I do know that if affects the travel pay as well, but not exactly sure on that. I need to do some more reading.

I'm glad to see the base rate is going to $60.00. The mileage rate will be set on what the State Comptroller sets the mileage reimbursement rate as of September 1, 2013. The rate is carried for the 2013-14 school year.

Is the UIL a private organization like the OhioHSAA, MichgianHSAA, FloridaHSAA, NCAA, etc.?

No, it is a state agency with its charter through the University of Texas.

I like that this should put the UIL effectively out of the business of managing officials but we'll see if they try to weasel around that.

You can thank Ed Thompson, former Houston Football Chapter President for authoring this bill and helping to get it to the governor's desk.

The new 1204 (not yet effective) pay will be $60 for varsiry and $50 for sub-varsity baseball. Other sport fees are stated in the 1204 document read it here.

I am not clear on what the mileage reimbursement will be. My understanding is that chapter and schools must agree upon the mileage reimbursement method to be used prior to the season start (metro or non-metro method).
